Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of Hyderabad has introduced a new strategy called ‘SPEED’ to accelerate the completion of his 19 major projects. The ‘SPEED’ initiative stands for Smart Proactive Efficient and Effective Delivery.
Among these 19 projects, some of the most significant include the development of the Musi Riverfront, the revamping of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), and the expansion of the Metro Rail system. The Chief Minister is determined to keep these projects on track and will closely monitor their progress. He plans to review the updates monthly with top officials from the relevant departments.
A senior official mentioned that the CM has set specific deadlines for each project, indicating that they will be executed in a mission mode. The State Planning Department is responsible for overseeing the progress of these works. To assist in this, the department will create a special online portal to track the daily progress of each project.
The 19 projects under the SPEED initiative include a wide range of developments. These include the Musi Riverfront Project, the creation of Satellite Towns, the expansion of the Metro Rail, and the reorganization of the GHMC. Other projects involve the construction of new airports, a Telangana Bhavan in Delhi, and the implementation of the Mahila Shakti Scheme.
Additionally, the SPEED program will focus on building District Federation Buildings, Residential School complexes, and Advanced Technology Centers in Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs). There will also be efforts to construct a new Osmania Hospital, 15 new nursing colleges, 28 paramedical colleges, and to promote health and eco-tourism.
The development of temple circuits for tourism and the implementation of an Anti-Drugs Strategy in the state are also part of the plan.
Officials have stated that the Chief Minister will hold monthly meetings with the concerned officials to review the progress of these projects. During these reviews, any challenges or hurdles encountered will be discussed, and solutions will be sought to ensure the timely creation of quality infrastructure, aimed at boosting the state’s economic growth.
