| Summary: | This note aims to document Andhra
Pradesh's experience in reforming its State Level
Public Enterprises (SLPE's) since the last seven years
and the main issues going forward. The note is organized in
seven sections. Section one discusses the backdrop of
state-wide reforms, in particular public enterprise reforms,
undertaken by the state of Andhra Pradesh in late nineties.
This section lays the rationale and importance of the reform
program in the light of deteriorating performance of PEs in
the state. Section two discusses the approach taken by the
government, the key element of which was 'carrying all
stakeholders along'. The next section discusses the
design of the program: a phased approach with all the
essential building blocks like the legal and institutional
structures, a social safety net program, a good
communications strategy and factoring in environmental
issues through audits upfront. Section four and five discuss
the implementation arrangements and the definitions of
reforms respectively. Section six documents the achievements
and progress of the program under phase one and two in the
last seven years. Section seven discusses the implementation
issues; challenges faced during various stages of the
program and the government's response to the same. The
last section concludes with a review of key challenges going forward. |
