Dear Member,

It is my proud privilege of being the Chairman of CIIAndhra Pradesh during 2010-11. 2010, whichwas considered as a year of economic recovery,turned out to be stirring, unforgettable, gratifyingand also challenging and learning, which I willcherish throughout my life.

Friends, when I took charge as the Chairman of CIIAndhra Pradesh, the world was in a recoveryphase. However, I am happy to note that Indiacontinued to be on it’s growth track, thanks to itsvibrant domestic market. The Year 2010 has seenthe advanced economies experiencing a gradualrecovery. But it has also been witness toconsiderable volatility on account of diversedevelopments, prominent amongst them beingthe sovereign debt crisis in the euro zone,concerns about the fiscal trajectory in the US, thesharp increase in commodity prices – food andenergy – and the rising tide of inflation in emergingcountries.

I think the principal challenge for India, especiallyin the short to medium term, is inflationmanagement. It is critical that supply bottlenecksacross the board, whether it be food, energy,other raw materials and intermediates beaggressively tackled, in order to permit theeconomy to grow at a pace consistent with strongunderlying domestic demand, without puttingexcessive pressure on prices.

Andhra Pradesh 2010, if we see in retrospect, andI personally think, was a year of CAUTION,ACTIVITY AND SPECULATION! Though industrialproduction is happening, the investor confidenceis not high, we need to work together in thisimportant aspect.

CII Andhra Pradesh, during this period, I think, hasshown a respectable performance, given thechallenges in hand, and has taken timely action foraddressing various issues confronting theindustry.

The Theme for 2010-2011 for CII SouthernRegion is “Economic Well Being for ALL & Agendafor Business”, which actually takes forward ournational agenda of India@75 (To see the countryas a developed nation by 2022) – Business forLivelihood. CII has based its focus, in juxtapositionwith the Government’s target to achieve 9 percentgrowth by 2012 (11th Five Year Plan) through

Inclusive growth technique. Based on these, CIIAndhra Pradesh worked with the theme“FOSTERING INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC GROWTHTHROUGH PARTNERSHIPS” for the Year 2010-2011.

For 2010-2011, the Focus areas for CII AndhraPradesh were – Brand Building of AndhraPradesh, Tier-II & Tier-III cities, Non-MigratoryJobs, Agriculture, Economic excellence,Infrastructure, Manufacturing, Healthcare andEducation.

CII Andhra Pradesh spearheaded its activities in aMEDIC way i.e., Membership Engagement,Development Initiatives, Inclusiveness andCompetitiveness.

In order to sustain the Brand Equity of the stateand to increase awareness for the need to speed-up development activities, CII Andhra Pradeshorganized meetings with Members of Parliamentand updating them about the need for districtdevelopment. The Session was attended by 22Members of Parliament from Andhra Pradeshacross party lines and our recommendationspertaining to development were well taken.

In response to our meetings with Political leader’sat all party interactive sessions on industrialdevelopment, a Taskforce on IndustrialDevelopment was created by the Government ofAndhra Pradesh, with strong involvement of CIIAndhra Pradesh. Moreover, to mitigate anydisturbance due to the demands for separatestate, Government of Andhra Pradesh,established a Taskforce on Industrial Securityheaded by a DGP. I welcome such measureswhich will strengthen the Government - Industryrelations.

In fact, CII has organized programmes forGovernment of Andhra Pradesh delegation to theEast Asian countries to attract greaterinvestments into the state and sustain the brandequity. We also had the State Governmentparticipate at other CII flagship initiatives likeSUMINFRA, Pravasi Bharatiya Divas and VibrantGujarat.

CII Andhra Pradesh recommended to theGovernment of Andhra Pradesh the need to forma special council consisting of both theGovernment and Industry members to enhancecompetitiveness especially in the manufacturing

sector. In response, the Chief Minister had formeda Chief Minister Advisory Council for industrialpromotion in the state. I am happy to note that theState Government included most of ourrecommendations in the Andhra PradeshIndustrial and Investment Promotion Policy 2010-2015.

CII Andhra Pradesh initiated a very importantinitiative to enhance rural employment andemployability by focusing on creating moreindustrial jobs in the non-urban areas and ensureskill development for rural youth. I am sure mysuccessor would take this task forward.

In 2010-2011, we have touched upon almost allthe sectors of importance to inclusive economicgrowth - Infrastructure, Manufacturing,Agriculture, Education & Skill Development,Healthcare, increased zonal activities, besidesothers. Our Major conferences were – Man’Exe2010, Skill Development Conclave, CSR-CSOBridge, Conference on Roads, Conference onNatural Gas, Conference on Healthcare,Conference on Environment Technologies and HRConclave.

We also felt the importance of updating theindustry on various developments under taxationand accounting practices. Hence we organizedsessions and interactive meetings on Goods andServices Taxes, Direct Taxes Code, andInternational Financial Reporting Standards. Wealso organized interactive sessions with variouscommissioners from Pollution Control Board,Commercial Taxes, Income Tax, Customs &Central Excise, Labour and commissioner ofindustries.

I am also extremely happy to share with you thatwe had around 30 business delegations fromdifferent countries coming to Andhra Pradeshrepresenting various sectors of the economy. Infact, it is good to note that we had six businessdelegations visiting Vizag and three toVijayawada. Many of the delegations are from thedeveloping countries in Africa, Latin America andAsia besides, Europe and North America.

I am happy to note that our zonal activities arepicking up. The major events like Round Tablesession on PCPIR in Vizag and Conference on ITare high points for this year. In fact, PCPIR areaneeds more focus in the initial phase. Given theareas and sector covered the planning must bemeticulously undertaken. Vijayawada too hasseen increase in activities and the Conference onGreen Buildings was a maiden success. I mustappreciate the zonal leadership in this regard.Industry also has responded and our membershiphas grown remarkably in the zones this year. I amhappy to note that the Zonal annual meetings atVizag and Vijayawada were successfullyorganized and we received an overwhelmingresponse.

With such achievements, I think, we have moved astep forward towards fostering inclusiveeconomic growth by strengthening Government-Industry-Society partnership.

While I proudly look back at CII’s achievementsduring the year, I realize that none of these wouldhave been possible without the active support ofthe Government of Andhra Pradesh. We haveorganized many of our events in partnership withthe Government of Andhra Pradesh, such asConference on Manufacturing Excellence, HealthConference, Skills Conclave, and the Conferenceon Natural Gas. I am also happy to note that theGovernment of Andhra Pradesh participated insome of the CII’s Flagship events like PravasiBharatiya Divas & Summit on Infrastructure.

I am immensely delighted by the way in which CIIAndhra Pradesh has established a very healthyand positive rapport with the Government ofAndhra Pradesh in promoting growth anddevelopment of business in the State. Togetherwe could create several forums to promote overallIndustrial development and skill development inthe State of Andhra Pradesh. The number of highprofile Ministerial level delegations that wereceived last year is a testimony to this. CII AndhraPradesh shares a common vision of taking AndhraPradesh to leadership position in HumanDevelopment Indices.

While demitting my office, I profoundly thank eachand everyone associated with me in making mytenure as Chairman CII Andhra Pradesh, one ofthe most significant and an exciting phase of mycareer. I am happy that my value addition as aChairman of CII AP was well received by myindustry colleagues. I have enjoyed every bit of mytenure and I am extremely happy to share thesemoments with you all.

I am deeply honoured to have worked with Mr. KrisGopalakrishnan, Chairman, CII Southern Region,Mr. T T Ashok, Deputy Chairman, CII SouthernRegion, Mr. Jaydev Galla, Vice Chairman, CIIAndhra Pradesh, Zonal Chairmen and ViceChairmen from Vijayawada and Visakhapatnamand all Past Chairmen, CII Andhra Pradesh StateCouncil, Panel Convenors and their members andlast but not the least Government of AndhraPradesh and Media.

I would also like to extend my warm appreciationand boundless thanks to the entire CII Secretariatfor making my Chairmanship the mostcherishable part of my life. This achievementwould not have been possible but for theircontinued support.

I am confident that the year 2011 will see CIIAndhra Pradesh play a more pivotal role in theprogress of the state and confident that this yearwill be more of activity and less of speculation!

Finally I do hope our CII Andhra Pradesh will havean own permanent premises.

Best regards,

Chairman, CII - Andhra PradeshShakti Sagar
