The government presented and explained the implemented schemes to the delegation, and they expressed satisfaction with the quality of learning projects in the state. The World Bank team also assured assistance, including financial and technical support, for the next few years.
Apart from learning, the World Bank team also reviewed special projects in Agriculture Transformation and Health Services.

It is worth mentioning that the Andhra Pradesh government is giving special attention to the education sector. Schools in the state are being renovated under the Naadu-Nedu program, and recently the government provided tablets to students for their education.
Additionally, the Andhra Pradesh government is carrying out welfare schemes that cater to all sections of society.

This project will provide access to education and meet the needs of students with special needs.
