A HISTORIC FIRST FOR ANDHRA PRADESH!
A celebration of our magnificent elephants, a national call for wildlife conservation, and a proud moment for Andhra Pradesh.
For the first time, Andhra Pradesh is hosting the national-level World Elephant Day celebrations, bringing together the Government of India, conservation leaders, forest officials, field staff, mahouts and communities to reaffirm our collective commitment to elephant conservation and peaceful coexistence.
This landmark occasion is a recognition of Andhra Pradesh’s growing role in protecting wildlife and preserving our natural heritage.
Heartfelt gratitude to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji and Hon’ble Union Minister for Environment, Forest & Climate Change Shri @byadavbjp ji for choosing Andhra Pradesh to host this prestigious national celebration. Under the leadership and guidance of Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri @ncbn garu, this landmark occasion has become a reality in Andhra Pradesh.
My sincere thanks to Hon’ble Minister of State for Environment, Forest & Climate Change, Government of India, Shri @KVSinghMPGonda ji, for gracing the occasion with his valuable presence and taking the time to be part of this significant celebration.
From Kumki elephants supporting human-elephant conflict management and rescue operations, to Olive Ridley turtle conservation, mangrove plantations under the Great Green Wall, Red Sanders protection, Nagaravanams and eco-tourism, H.A.N.U.M.A.N. wildlife response vehicles, drone-based seed ball dispersal and Wood Banks for artisans, Andhra Pradesh continues to build a strong and comprehensive ecosystem for wildlife and nature conservation.
From protecting elephants to restoring forests, from safeguarding wildlife to empowering communities, Andhra Pradesh is shaping a future where development and conservation move forward together.
A historic first for Andhra Pradesh. A stronger commitment to our wildlife, forests and future generations.

Young Minds, Inspiring Creativity
During my visit to the World Elephant Day event, I was truly delighted to see the wonderful paintings and artworks created by our young students.
More than 20 lakh students from 21,450 schools across India participated in the World Elephant Day campaign. Out of which nearly 31,000 students participated in the painting competition. Each painting reflected a unique imagination, a deep love for elephants and wildlife, and a beautiful message of conservation. I sincerely appreciate every student who participated and brought their creativity and passion for nature to this initiative. Every young artist deserves appreciation for giving conservation a voice through art.
It was especially heartening to see students from Andhra Pradesh among the winners. In the Junior Category (Classes 6–8), B. Tanvi Praveetha, Plakshita and G. Niharika, all from Visakhapatnam, secured the 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions respectively.
In the Senior Category (Classes 9–12), S.V.L.N. K. Sharvani, M. Lavanya and S. Sneha Ratna, all from Visakhapatnam, secured the 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions respectively.
At the National Level, Ujaan B.D.M. Chattopadhyay, Aditi Behera and Harithparans J.H. secured the 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions respectively.
My heartfelt congratulations to all the winners. Your creativity has beautifully captured the spirit of elephant conservation and shown us the power of young minds.
When children create for nature, they inspire a future that cares for it.

Some moments in history do not just change the course of a Nation; they awaken the soul of its people. The Quit India Movement was one such defining moment that transformed India’s freedom struggle into an unstoppable national movement.
On this day in 1942, Mahatma Gandhi’s timeless call of “Do or Die” ignited the spirit of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering patriotism in millions of Indians. From every village and town, countless known and unknown heroes rose above fear, united with one resolve, and dedicated everything they had for the dream of a free Bharat.
As we commemorate the Quit India Movement, let us bow in gratitude to those extraordinary patriots whose sacrifices gifted us our freedom. Their legacy reminds us that the true strength of Bharat lies in unity, national pride, and the collective determination of its people to overcome every challenge.
Let us honour their dreams by building a strong, self-reliant, united, and developed Bharat worthy of their sacrifice.
Jai Hind!

Seven years ago, on this day, Article 370 was abrogated. A decision many believed was impossible finally became a reality. Since then, Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh have witnessed remarkable progress through improved connectivity, modern infrastructure, expanded healthcare and education, increased investment, and new opportunities that were long overdue.
Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee once said, "Ek Desh Mein Do Vidhan, Do Nishan, Do Pradhan Nahi Chalenge." He dedicated his life to this vision. Under the leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Sri @narendramodi ji, that vision became a reality.
Since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, landmark projects such as the Chenab Rail Bridge, Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL), Zojila Tunnel, and Z-Morh Tunnel have transformed connectivity across the region. Major investments in AIIMS Jammu, new medical colleges, highways, rural infrastructure, and power projects, along with the implementation of central welfare schemes, have strengthened public services. Record tourist arrivals, industrial and investment initiatives, grassroots democratic institutions, and progress in horticulture and agriculture reflect the region's steady transformation, even as security and political challenges continue to be addressed.
The formation of Ladakh as a separate Union Territory has opened a new chapter in its development. With focused investment in border infrastructure, connectivity, tourism, renewable energy, education, healthcare, and strategic projects, Ladakh has received dedicated administrative attention while strengthening Bharat's national security and accelerating the region's long-term growth.
I sincerely thank Hon'ble Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi ji and Hon'ble Union Home Minister Sri @AmitShah ji for their vision, determination, and leadership in making this historic decision a reality. It was not an easy decision, but one that has reshaped the future of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. I also extend my gratitude to the armed forces, security personnel, civil servants, and administrators who worked tirelessly to ensure a peaceful and successful transition.
Grateful for this historic milestone in our nation's journey and hopeful for an even brighter future for Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳

The inauguration of the Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport, Bhogapuram, marks a transformative chapter in Andhra Pradesh's development, especially for Uttarandhra, which is set to emerge as a key growth engine of the State.
Today's visit by Hon'ble Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi Ji marked another milestone in Andhra Pradesh's development with the inauguration and foundation stone laying of projects worth ₹17,415 crore.
From aviation and power transmission to highways and bridges, today's projects lay the foundation for a stronger, better-connected, and more prosperous Andhra Pradesh. The Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport at Bhogapuram, which will transform Uttarandhra into a major hub for connectivity, tourism, trade, and investment; POWERGRID transmission projects worth ₹9,920 crore, strengthening renewable energy evacuation from Kurnool and Anantapur, ensuring reliable power supply, supporting industrial growth, and advancing Andhra Pradesh's clean energy ambitions, and National Highway & Bridge projects worth ₹1,854 crore, which will enhance connectivity across Rayalaseema and Coastal Andhra, reduce travel time and logistics costs, and facilitate trade and economic activity. Together, these projects will significantly strengthen the State's connectivity, energy security, industrial development, and logistics ecosystem.
On behalf of the five crore people of Andhra Pradesh, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Hon'ble PM Sri Narendra Modi Ji, Hon'ble CM Sri @ncbn Garu, Hon'ble Union Minister for Civil Aviation Sri @RamMNK Garu, Hon'ble @MORTHIndia Sri @nitin_gadkari Ji, and the NDA Government for strengthening the foundations of a ksit Andhra Pradesh through visionary infrastructure and connectivity projects.

Hearty congratulations to every student across Bharat on the passage of the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026 in the Lok Sabha today.
This landmark legislation marks a significant step towards protecting the dreams and aspirations of millions of students and restoring public confidence in the integrity of our examination system.
Recognising the need for long-term reforms, the Government also initiated structural changes, including the constitution of a high-powered task force under Sri Nandan Nilekani, with eminent experts to recommend comprehensive reforms for the National Testing Agency (NTA) and the country's examination system.
The Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026 marks at another decisive step towards safeguarding the integrity of public examinations. Those who attempt to steal the future of our students by indulging in unfair practices must realise that they will face the strictest provisions of the law. There can be no compromise when it comes to the future of our youth.
Under the progressive leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Sri @narendramodi Ji, the Union Government acted with swiftly following the NEET examination paper leak. The compromised examination was cancelled, swift action was initiated against those responsible, and, most importantly, the Government ensured that students did not lose a precious academic year through the timely reconduct of the examination, and declaring the results without unnecessary delay.
This shows how a responsible government responds at the times of crisis, ensuring accountability and restoring public confidence, rather than exploiting genuine public concerns to create chaos, unrest, or political confrontation. The future of our students must always remain above divisive politics.
The NDA Government will spare no one who seeks to endanger the aspirations of our youth and will ensure that every offender faces the full force of the law.
Protecting the dreams of our students, preserving the credibility of our institutions, and creating a system where merit, integrity, and equal opportunity always prevail remain the unwavering commitment of the Modi Ji's Government.
The future of India will not be shaped by those who spread chaos, but by the millions of young minds who pursue knowledge with determination, discipline, and character. Together, let us empower them to build a stronger, more prosperous, and #ViksitBharat.
Jai Hind!

నిరంజన్ ఇక లేడనే వార్త నా హృదయాన్ని తీవ్రంగా కలచివేసింది.
కొద్ది రోజుల క్రితం హనుమకొండలో నిరంజన్ ఇంటికి వెళ్లి కలిసిన ఆ క్షణాలు ఇంకా నా మదిలో సజీవంగానే ఉన్నాయి. తీవ్రమైన అనారోగ్యంతో పోరాడుతూనే నా కోసం ఎదురుచూసిన ఆ చిన్నారి… నన్ను చూడగానే అతని ముఖంపై విరిసిన ఆ చిరునవ్వు… ఇవన్నీ ఎప్పటికీ మరువలేని జ్ఞాపకాలుగా నిలిచిపోతాయి.
అతని శరీరం వ్యాధితో పోరాడినా, అతని మనసు మాత్రం అపారమైన ధైర్యంతో నిలిచింది. అంతటి బాధను అనుభవిస్తూ కూడా జీవితం పట్ల అతను చూపిన ఆశ, ఆత్మవిశ్వాసం ఎంతో విలువైనవి. అలాంటి ధైర్యవంతుడైన చిన్నారి ఇంత త్వరగా మనల్ని విడిచి వెళ్లిపోవడం ఎంతో బాధాకరం.
నిరంజన్ కుటుంబ సభ్యులకు నా ప్రగాఢ సానుభూతిని తెలియజేస్తున్నాను. తీరని దుఃఖాన్ని భరించే శక్తిని భగవంతుడు వారికి ప్రసాదించాలని ప్రార్థిస్తున్నాను.
ప్రియమైన నిరంజన్… నువ్వు చూపించిన చిరునవ్వు, ధైర్యం, నువ్వు పంచిన ప్రేమ నా హృదయంలో ఎప్పటికీ నిలిచిపోతాయి. నీ ఆత్మకు శాంతి చేకూరాలని భగవంతుడిని ప్రార్థిస్తున్నాను.

Every milestone towards Viksit Bharat – 2047 is a step towards realizing the visionary dream of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji. The National Launch of VB-G RAM G from Mukkavaripalli in Railway Koduru Constituency, Andhra Pradesh, is one such historic milestone, making it a proud and memorable occasion for our State.
My heartfelt gratitude to Hon'ble Union Minister for Rural Development Shri @ChouhanShivraj Ji for graciously honouring our request and launching VB-G RAM G from Andhra Pradesh. This recognition reflects the Government of India's confidence in our State's commitment to transparent governance, effective implementation, and accelerated rural development.
The announcement of ₹7,707 crore for Andhra Pradesh under VB-G RAM G, coupled with ₹422 crore under PMGSY-IV for 146 road works covering 347 km and 19 bridges, is far more than an investment in infrastructure—it is an investment in the aspirations of our villages, the dreams of our farmers, the opportunities for our youth, and the future of rural Andhra Pradesh.
I also express my sincere gratitude to Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji, whose unwavering commitment to rural empowerment continues to transform the development landscape of our nation. These landmark initiatives stand as a testament to his vision of creating vibrant, self-reliant villages as the foundation of a Viksit Bharat.
The confidence reposed in Andhra Pradesh through one of the country's largest allocations under VB-G RAM G is both an honour and a responsibility. The Government of Andhra Pradesh accepts this responsibility with utmost sincerity. We are committed to ensuring that every sanctioned road, every bridge, and every rupee entrusted to us is translated into quality infrastructure, improved livelihoods, and lasting development. We shall never disappoint the confidence reposed in our State by the Government of India.
Together, under the leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, with the continued support of Hon'ble Union Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan Ji, and under the leadership of Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri @ncbn Garu, the Government of Andhra Pradesh remains committed to building stronger villages, empowered communities, and a Viksit Andhra Pradesh that contributes meaningfully to the vision of Viksit Bharat.
