i) Priority should be given to those irrigation projects which cater to the needs of Telangana and other backward areas of Andhra Pradesh.
ii) A comprehensive land distribution programme should be undertaken in the state with special focus on Telangana to break the grip of feudal forces.
iii) A crash programme has to be adopted to improve educational facilities in the identified backward mandals throughout the state.
iv) Special attention should be paid to the areas where health indicators are poor when compared to the state average.
v) Special measures must be adopted to improve the economic and social position of the dalits, girijans (tribal people) minorities and artisan communities. Many of the development indicators are poor in those mandals where the proportion of the dalit, tribal and minority population is large. This is true especially with relation to Telangana region. Development of these vulnerable sections is necessary to bridge the developmental gap between regions and sub regions.
vi) A comprehensive study of the imbalanced development among different regions, sub regions, districts and mandals is needed. A development index for each mandal should be developed. On this basis, comprehensive plans have to be prepared.
vii) There should be strict implementation of GO No 610 and rectification of past distortions. A constitutional amendment should be made to remove the exemption given to police department pertaining to Hyderabad in the presidential orders.
viii) Special funds have to be earmarked for the development of backward mandals in every budget and a separate mechanism to be created to oversee the implementation of the special plans for the backward areas.
