Yarada to be developed as IT, tourism hub: Palla Srinivasa Rao

TDP State president says 800 acres to be assessed for IT firms, GCCs, startups and tourism projects; proposed bridge to improve connectivity to city

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) State president and Gajuwaka MLA Palla Srinivasa Rao has emphasized the development of Gajuwaka as a key hub for IT, industrial, and tourism sectors. During a field inspection of nearly 800 acres at Yarada, Rao and other officials assessed the region's potential. Rao directed officials to examine the feasibility of developing Yarada as a hub for IT companies, Global Capability Centres (GCCs), startups, and other knowledge-driven enterprises.

He highlighted that expanding the IT sector in the area could generate significant employment and livelihood opportunities for local youth. Rao also proposed the construction of a bridge connecting Yarada with Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in One Town, which would improve connectivity and reduce travel time from 15 to 20 minutes.

Improved connectivity would further boost IT and industrial development, as well as beach and spiritual tourism in the region. Rao stated that the coalition government, led by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, is working to position Andhra Pradesh as an attractive destination for investment, industry, and technology. He urged officials to prepare proposals for the integrated development of IT and tourism sectors after comprehensive assessment of infrastructure, connectivity, and other requirements.
