Minister for Tribal Welfare and Women & Child Welfare Gummidi Sandhya Rani on Monday reviewed arrangements for Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's scheduled visit to Araku on August 29. She inspected the helipad, the public meeting venue, and the Gannela Primary Health Centre, where the Chief Minister is to launch the Sanjeevani programme.

The minister checked arrangements for public amenities, drinking water, parking and security. District Collector T. Nishanthi, Joint Collector Tirumani Sri Pooja, PO ITDA Aditya Varma and District Superintendent of Police Amit Bardar also reviewed the preparations. Officials have been directed to complete all arrangements in advance and ensure inter-departmental coordination.
The Sanjeevani programme, which the Chief Minister will launch, is part of the state's push to strengthen primary healthcare in tribal regions, an area where access has historically lagged. Araku, a constituency in the agency area, has seen repeated official visits since the TDP-led government took office, signalling a focus on tribal welfare delivery. The district administration now faces the task of executing a smooth event while ensuring the PHC inauguration is not overshadowed by logistics. The actual test will be whether the Sanjeevani scheme leads to measurable improvements in health indicators for the local population in the coming months.
