As part of the training, the district leaders were given orientation lectures about the Government's vision for Andhra Pradesh and the missions it has launched for achieving total literacy, eradication of poverty, generating employment and conserving water besides power sector reforms.

The Home Minister, Mr. T. Devender Goud, the School Education Minister, Mr. K. Srihari, the Excise Minister, Mr. T. T. Nageswara Rao, the Power Minister, Mr. K. Subbarayudu, and party leaders, Prof. C. Lakshmanna, Mr. Ch. Rajeshwara Rao and Mr. R. Chandrasekhar Reddy, addressed the participants.
