Naidupeta

It appears that the AP government has a proposal to establish new MSME Parks in each constituency. In Sullurupeta constituency, there are indications of plans to develop a new park in Naidupeta town (assumed location), situated between Naidupeta Market and Thummuru. Currently, the feasibility and various options, such as land availability, are being evaluated. If this park is developed, it can provide numerous opportunities for youth and contribute to reducing unemployment.
