Andhra Pradesh Government is making grand arrangements for the foundation laying ceremony of the new capital Amaravati by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday October 22,2015 Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu plans to built Amaravati as a people's capital and a city of the future.

Smart, green and sustainable. Known as a man of vision, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu aspires to build Amaravati, the new capital of Andhra Pradesh as world's best capital.

 

 

Calling Amaravati as a people's capital, government plans maximum involvement of the people in building it.

Starting a unique initiative, smart capital Amaravati will be built e-brick by e-brick.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu has launched a website where people across the globe can donate money for building Amaravati by buying bricks at cost of Rs 10 each

Within few days, about 20 lakh bricks have been bought by people. The government estimates that it needs at least Rs 20,000 crore to build the new capital and this initiative "My Brick My Amaravati" will help the cash strapped state

Not only this, soil and water from each village of the 13 districts will be included in the foundation ceremony, which would later be used in iconic or heritage buildings in the capital.

However, the capital construction plans of the state government are yet to clear the green hurdle. The National Green Tribunal has ordered a stay on construction activity in Amaravati, till environmental clearances. The NGT has even directed the state government not to bulldoze agricultural fields or conduct any levelling of the land
