Education and IT Minister Nara Lokesh said the government aimed to make Andhra Pradesh the No. 1 state in the country and sought everyone’s cooperation in achieving the goal.

The Minister, along with Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, participated in a dinner meeting with the Pan-IIT Conference team in Vijayawada on Friday (October 2, 2026).

He said everyone was aware of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s capabilities. “Operating systems keep improving with every new version. Similarly, our Chief Minister is also becoming better with every version. This is his fourth version,” he said. He noted that 50 % of the MLAs in the present government were first-time legislators, while 17 of the 25 ministers were holding ministerial positions for the first time. “I am now a senior minister. All of us are working with determination and commitment for the development of the State,” he said.
