The India Consensus is under the Andhra Pradesh Priorities Project, a partnership initiative of the Tata Trusts and
the Copenhagen Consensus Centre. The project will conduct cost-benefit research and prioritisation across a
comprehensive development agenda for Andhra Pradesh. The aim of the Project is to provide the State Government and
the development community with a systematic process to help prioritise the most effective development solutions. This will
be achieved through academic research, stakeholder engagement and a targeted outreach strategy. Ultimately, the people
in Andhra Pradesh will directly benefit from the increased coordination and shared consensus of identifying the smartest
development solutions.
The project aims at meeting with stakeholders from the state government, including departments covering
energy, environment. Health, rural development, education, nutrition, women and child development, etc., as well as with
civil society, think tanks, and academics. In this regard, they are conducting roundtable conferences on different sectors
across Andhra with key stakeholders from government, civil society and academics. Sri Guruprasad, of VVIT, was invited by

Pradesh. He participated in that round table conference and intertwined his expertise with the other sector expert
participants.
