Manpower in ITES/BPO Industry
The Government has been keen to help the youth of the State to acquire skills and knowledge in this important fast growing sector thus, improving their employability. The Government has set up the Institute of Service Management (ISM) also for imparting short-term training programmes for graduates
Student knowledge Forum
The Student knowledge Forum Community is an ever growing group of developers and friends who enjoy working together and learning from each other's experiences. Prof.Ghanta Subba Rao, Ex-officio Secretary, e-Governance & State Chief Information Officer(SCIO), has the vision of forming the Student Knowledge Forums (SKF) through out the state with the trained faculty members and students. Government of Andhra Pradesh has pioneered e-Governance applications in the state. As part of the Human Resource Development that would be required for designing, developing, implementing and maintaining e-Governance projects, he has initiated suitable training programs to the relevant faculty members and students of Colleges conducting B.Tech /MCA /M.Sc (IS) / M.Sc (CS) course(s). Faculty members and best talented students out of each training programme would be used to train the personnel at the subsequent training programme and the chain of such events would continue in this summer of 2003 through SKF. Some of the Colleges have come in touch with the State Chief Information Officer and Volunteered to host the Training programmes for the Faculty members and to the students.
Jawahar Knowledge Center (JKC)

5.Providing video and teleconferencing facilities to students at first instance, and to all at a later time, to bring about an interaction between experts and novices, users and providers by conducting workshops, seminars and get-togethers etc.
6.Inventorize the assets of the district with, talent pool, research centers, climatic & agricultural data, wages, prices, and industrial data.


Power
Reforms have been taken up in the state for the viability and the growth of the power sector to meet the needs of the consumers and to promote the overall economy. APSEB formed in 1959 has been restructured into two functionally distinct corporations namely APGENCO and APTRANSCO. Distribution business was segregated from APTRANSCO by the formation of four other distribution companies with effect from 1st March, 2000.A.P. Power sector has secured 1st rank as per the CRISIL ratings consecutively in 2004-05 and 2005-06. Andhra Pradesh is the 3rd largest power utility in the country with installed capacity 11,134 MW. Highest Hydel Installed Capacity in India resulting in reduced cost of powerThe State's power supply network which consists of 25,719 Ckms of EHT lines, 207432 Ckms of HT lines, 437610 Ckms of transmission lines and 2645 substations is one of the largest networks in the country supplying power to nearly 1,69,25,194 consumers. It is programmed to add 4X400 KV, 5X220 KV, 20X132KV sub stations and 809 CKM of 220 KV lines and 395CKM of 132 KV lines. Another 279 number of 33/11 KV substations are being added.The power generation available for use is 25,482 million units and the Per Capita Consumption is 575 KWh. There are 4,36,551 distribution transformers and 2,874 sub stations in the State. Dedicated feeders are being provided to 213 HT LI schemes. 998 Special Industrial Express Feeders have been separated to ensure uninterrupted supply to industries.
