Union Minister of State for External Affairs and Education, Dr Pemmasani Chandrasekhar, highlighted that this landmark investment by Google will help position Andhra Pradesh as a prominent digital hub under the “Swarandhra Pradesh” vision.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Government of Andhra Pradesh and Google was signed in the presence of senior Union and state officials. The initiative marks a milestone in attracting global technology investments and aligns with the nation’s broader vision of making India a global digital powerhouse.
