Andhra Chief Minister said that he was keen to study Sri Lanka’s successes in education and health in order to emulate them in his state.

President Sirisena congratulated the Chief Minister for the rapid progress made by Andhra Pradesh under his tenure. He said that Sri Lanka was impressed by Mr Naidu’s plans for poverty alleviation and added that there are many programs that could provide guidance to his plans for poverty eradication in Sri Lanka.

Mr Naidu said that the information technology is now essential for every sphere and said that the bad effects of IT could be discarded through enhancing good use of IT.

Mr Naidu will deliver the keynote address at the ‘Compassionate Governance – A Stable Country: The Dawn of Three Years in Sustainability’ ceremony to mark 2nd anniversary of the government at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference hall yesterday.
