Within Agriculture sector, the impact of

slowdown coupled with adverse seasonal

conditions in the State during the years 2008-

09 and 2009-10 is evident in all the sub-

sectors except Livestock. This sub-sector of

late has emerged as an important alternate

source of income to a large number of small

and marginal farmers, particularly in the

drought prone areas of the state. Innovative

activities like Pasukranthi, Jeevakranthi,

Sheep Insurance etc., taken up in the interest

of farmers welfare, appear to pay dividends.

Forestry in the State is consistently growing

below par averaging 2.5% during the 4-year

period. However, Fishing sub-sector

recording a negative growth during 2009-10,

bounced back to register a growth of 8.39%during 2010-11 managed to post a healthy

average growth of almost 8% during the 11th

Plan period so far.

The growth in the Industry sector appeared to

have been hit by recession. After registering

growth rates in excess of 10% continuously

since 2005-06 onwards till 2007-08, the

growth in the Industry sector suddenly

slipped to 1.51% during 2008-09. However,

the Industry sector witnessed a noticeable

growth momentum in the subsequent years.Within the Industry sector, Construction

subsector, maintained a steady and sustained

growth consistently. For the four-year period

of the 11th Plan, the Construction sub-sector

grew at an overwhelming rate of 10.95%.

Mining & Quarrying subsector, showed

volatile trends. However, after witnessing a

slump during 2008-09, this subsector is

slowly yet surely turning out to surge ahead.

The manufacturing sub-sector(both registered

as well as un-registered), which accounts fornearly 50% of the Industrial output and more

than 10% of the GSDP, has to grow at a

higher pace if the Industry sector were to

propel the overall growth momentum and

employment.

Services sector continues to garner a lions

share(over 53%) in the GSDP and the

consistently high growth rates have resulted

in a growth in excess of 8.8% during the

four-year period. Among the sub-sectors of

the Services sector, Communications,

Banking & Insurance, Real estate & Business

services and Transport (other than Railways)

& Storage show promise.

Noteworthy increases in the Per Capita

Income in the recent past broadly indicate the

improvement in the livelihoods of the people.

The Per Capita Income of the state at current

prices has more than doubled in a span of

five years- from Rs. 28,539 during 2005-06

to Rs. 60,224 in 2010-11. In fact, the growth

in Per Capita Income of the State during this

period is more rapid compared to All-India.

Effective implementation of several poverty-

alleviating and employment generating

programmes of the State as well as of the

Centre, aided by a better delivery mechanism

and safety nets in place in the state, appear to

have helped the people maintain relativelybetter standards.

Performance under Annual Plans:

The Planning Commission had approved a

total amount of Rs. 1,44,797 crores as total

Annual Plans outlay for State during the first

four years (2007-08 to 2010-11) of the 11th

Five Year Plan. An amount of Rs.1,07,750

crores has been spent. The expenditure for

2010-11 has been taken upto the end of

(December, 2010) only.

On the average, for the four year period,Economic Services accounted for about 64%

of the total outlay, while Social Services

accounted for a little over 35% and General

Services less than 1% of the total outlay.

Irrigation sector with an outlay share of

41.3% and Housing with 9.9% share are the

major stakeholders in the total outlay. Other

prominent stakeholders include: Rural

Development, Urban Development, Industry

and Agriculture and Welfare sectors.

Ensuring Equity and Social Justice:Consistent with recommendations of the

Planning Commission to adhere to

allocations for SCs and STs in proportion to

their shares in the State population, on the

average, the respective shares in the total

outlays have been maintained under SCSP

and TSP in the Annual Plans.

Review of performance under priority

initiatives/ programmes:

The innovative and bold initiatives put in

place by the state government in the last few

years have not only lifted the standards of


3/7

217

living of the people but were also

instrumental in ensuring welfare of the

people, especially the poor.

Besides the achievements under the priority

sectors like irrigation, agriculture and rural

development, the state has committed itself

to focus on increasing public spending on

social sector-especially on Housing, Urban

development and welfare of SCs, STs,

minorities etc. besides the new initiatives like

Rajiv Arogyasri and 104/108 medical

services, Dr. YSR Abhaya Hastam, and

others so as to ensure that the benefits of

economic development and technology reach

the needy.

The following is the outcome of some of the

programmes /initiatives implemented duringthe 4 years of the 11th

Five Year Plan.

Agricultural resurgence:

The state has been implementing a number of

farmer-friendly initiatives to encourage

farming in the state. These include supply of

free power to Agriculture; insulate farmers

from financial losses and to restore their

credit eligibility in the event of crop loss

through Agricultural insurance, disbursement

of agricultural credit, debt waiver

encouraging farmers to adopt integrated pestmanagement practices.

Agriculture production and productivity

have started attaining new heights in Andhra

Pradesh. The State has registered a record

Foodgrains production of 204.21 lakh tonnes

during 2008-09 as against the normal of

160.17 lakh tonnes. However, due to twin

effects of drought and floods during 2009-10,

the foodgrain production slumped to 155.96

lakh tonnes. During current year, despite crop

losses due to cyclones and floods, the foodgrain production is estimated to touch a level

of 190 lakh MTs. Agriculture extension like

Rythu Chaitanya Yatralu, Polambadi etc.,

and Govt. of Indias flagship programs like

Rastriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) with

100% Central aid have helped the State to

achieve targeted growth rate in the

Agriculture and Allied sectors during XI five

year plan.

During the four-year Plan period(2007-08 to

2010-11-Jan.), an amount of Rs. 1023.08

crores has been spent under RKVY and

under the Agriculture & Allied sectors, Rs.

6762.72 crores has been spent.
