The meeting comes at a time when Assembly sessions are underway, with leaders reviewing policy implementation and development priorities across the state.
Review of Jal Jeevan Mission and Fund Utilization
During the discussion, the progress of Jal Jeevan Mission works across Andhra Pradesh was reviewed. The Deputy Chief Minister briefed the Chief Minister on the status of ongoing projects, utilization of allocated funds, and pending works.
They also examined the allocation of development funds for roads under the Panchayat Raj Department and reviewed constituency-wise distribution of these funds.
Magic Drains Initiative Across Panchayats
Pawan Kalyan highlighted the implementation of “Magic Drains” in several gram panchayats. He explained that expanding this model across all panchayats could significantly improve sanitation management and ensure better drainage systems statewide.
Officials reportedly discussed scaling up this initiative to strengthen rural infrastructure and public health standards.
Drainage Desilting Before Kharif Season

This measure is expected to help farmers by improving water flow and reducing potential flooding during crop cultivation.
Forest Department and Hanuman Project
Pawan Kalyan briefed the Chief Minister about the Forest Department’s “Hanuman Project” and its objectives. Details of the initiative, including conservation and development measures, were presented during the meeting.
