As Visakhapatnam moves towards becoming a major data centre destination and investment hotspot, the city is entering a new phase of growth. IAS Muttimbaku Abhishikth Kishore, a 2015 Batch Officer of Andhra Pradesh cadre, who recently took charge as Collector Visakhapatnam, says the focus is on preparing the district for upcoming projects, employment generation and infrastructure expansion.
Referring to the scale of investments attracted by the state in the last two years- 16% of total private domestic investment in the first year and 25% in the second year. “A major chunk is coming from Visakhapatnam and these are not MOU’s they are approved projects” He noted
Looking ahead, the effort now is to ground these projects and build ecosystems around them, including ambitions to develop Visakhapatnam as a major data centre destination and employment hub. Additionally he shared “We want to become the data centre capital of the world. Visakhapatnam has also become the buzzword in the area of US and San Francisco as well and we want to capitalise on these aspects”
At the same time, Kishore stresses balanced growth to avoid the kind of pressure seen in major metropolitan cities and keep Vizag comfortable for residents.Additionally seamless connectivity to the upcoming airport, citizen friendly urban planning and preservation of the city’s liveability are important considerations.
Tourism is another area receiving attention. “Several high-end seven and five star hotels are under construction in the city” he said, adding that the aim is to position Vizag as a major tourism and MICE destination while engaging the city’s resilient and globally connected community.
IAS Abhishikth Kishore’s vision aims to support city’s transformation into a vibrant, future-ready economic and tourism powerhouse.

"Peace talks failed due to excessive US demands !!
Trilateral peace parleys have reportedly failed in Islamabad after facing many hurdles as the whole world waited for opening of strait of Hormuz and return of durable peace?
There was total distrust during negotiations as hard bargaining continued in an atmosphere of mutual suspicion.
Let us analyse the reasons behind collapse of talks.
Lack of self-restraint
Prez Trump needed to rein in Netanyahu from attacking Iran's proxy,the Hezbollah. It was considered breach of ceasefire. Lebanon should have been covered in the peace plan agenda. It still remains a flashpoint.
The adversaries failed to refrain from issuing provocative statements amid the ongoing peace process.
Pakistan gained in status
Donald Trump praised Pakistan's role as a key mediator in establishing a ceasefire between the United States and Iran. He referred to Pakistan's Army Chief, Asim Munir, as his "favourite field marshal".
Analysts believe the shift from earlier adversarial relations to one where Pakistan was trusted as a mediator in regional conflicts is part of a transactional approach, with Pakistan cultivating trust through diplomatic lobbying and, in return, receiving recognition from the U.S
Pakistan ,no doubt, has gained in stature which has surely elevated. People wonder how a country embroiled in adversarial relations with its two neighbours - Afghanistan and India - entered the centre-stage and emerged as a bringer of peace in world politics?
India missed the bus
India unarguably felt utterly sidelined and irrelevant. Its economy will be severely hit. The adverse impact will become evident soon. Worse India failed to take the initiative by virtue of being the fourth largest economy and as current chairperson of the BRICS that has Iran as member. India still has a chance to convert Islamabad failure into an opportunity.
Hope for future
Iran says-No next round?
All things considered, let us hope, good sense finally prevails and durable peace and sanity return to the multi- polar world order. Is there a Plan B?
