The Government of Andhra Pradesh have clearly enunciated their endeavour to create a just, equitable, and humane society, as is reflected in the Governor’s address to the Legislative Assembly on 12th January, 1995. It has also been stated that the Government will pay utmost attention to the vital task of primary education, health care and welfare of the poor with the objective of releasing the productive potential of the whole population. The reforms are meant to serve as instruments for freeing people from the shackles of poverty, disease and deprivation. Likewise, the welfare programmes are proposed to be aimed at promoting human dignity and providing the basic necessities of life. Government recognises that the education and health are necessary preconditions for development and, therefore, places a major emphasis on strengthening and spreading education and promoting health care at all levels with a special focus on the deprived sections of the society.
