Indian Talent


N Chandrababu Naidu -
CM of Andhra Pradesh

He was born in Naravaripally village of Chittoor district on April 20, 1950. His father, the late Sri N.K. Naidu was an agriculturist and his mother Smt. Ammanamma is a housewife. After completing his school education in Chandragiri and graduation at Sri Venkateswara Arts College, Tirupati, he went on to complete his Masters in Economics from Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati. It was whilst he researched for his Ph.D. degree, that he took to politics.

A keen politician, he served as the Coordinator of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), from 1989. The competence with which he effectively handled the party’s role of main opposition in the Assembly won him wide appreciation from both the party and the public.

As Finance Minister in the cabinet of the then Chief Minister N.T.Rama Rao he opined that the Govt could run more effectively and efficiently. His point of argument being “ If companies like Infosys, Satyam, Microsoft, and Reliance can do so well in such a short period, why cannot a government do well?”

The Chief Minister has a modern outlook to administration. His style of functioning is more akin to that of a CEO as compared to a traditional politician. The Chief Minister has a firm conviction that modern technology should be used in the service of the common man. Consequently, he has been laying great emphasis on the use of modern information technology in Governance.

“A man with his head in the clouds and feet on the ground” – was how a leading weekly magazine described him. It reflects his boldness and commitment. The reassuring factor is that he takes small steps to achieve the big goal that is on his mind. Visits of Bill Gates and The US President indicate the interest that is being generated internationally.

He has achieved what no other Chief Minister has done so far. Successfully promoting the IT sector, he has gone to the grassroots level and promoted campaigns like “Janmabhoomi” that have benefited people directly.

Fifty years old and over five years as a Chief Minister, he states modestly that he has still plenty to do to realise his dream for his State.
