Loksatta Guarantee: 1000 SMALL TOWNS in Andhra Pradesh

Large numbers of people are migrating to big cities in search of employment and basic amenities/facilities such as hospitals and quality schools.
On an average 5000 people per day migrate to cities in our state, and a large number of them end up in slums.
Due to the absence of basic infrastructure in rural areas, villagers are forced to commute to distant cities for even the smallest problems.
In order to address these problems Lok Satta government will develop 1000 small towns, which will result in integration of rural areas with urban economy. Migration to urban areas will be prevented by creating modern facilities, employment opportunities, and good living conditions in the rural areas.

  government with all necessary infrastructure at a cost of Rs. 25 crores.

17) Urban Amenities in Rural Areas

• Lok Satta government guarantees access to quality urban amenities and services to all villages.
