Vijayawada, the multifaceted hub of Andhra Pradesh is one of the fastest growing cities in the country. Well Known as the business, cultural, educational and political nerve centre of Andhra Pradesh, it also serves as an important transit junction for rail and road transport. The
phenomenal growth of the city has cast an enormous strain on the city’s infrastructure.
VMC is working whole heartedly and with total commitment towards the development of the city on various fronts. Governmental agencies alone can not take on this mammoth task of providing the infrastructure needs.

Under this initiative, corporate houses, banks, philanthropists, NGOs, and other individuals are being encouraged to take up improvement of traffic junctions, installation and maintenance of traffic signals, creation of bus bays/auto parking bays, footpath improvements, erection of road dividers & signage, painting of zebra crossings, improvement of parks, construction of public toilets/urinals, adoption of slums, etc.
