It will also incorporate the roadmap of the key tasks it wants to achieve in the next six years.

The Government, according to sources, had asked the departments to come up with concrete proposals in line with the expectations of increase in the budgetary outlays every year.

The departments were asked to factor in the current growth of the State economy pegged around 15% for preparing their roadmap for the future.

The departments were set December 15 deadline for submitting their reports on the status of affairs and the road ahead and the Government had received reports from almost all the departments, according to sources.

The high-level committee of officials headed by Mr. Rajiv Sharma will embark upon the preparation of the draft of the vision document in a couple of days and conclude the process by month-end.

The final draft would then be submitted to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for his approval after corrections and additions wherever necessary.

The final document is expected to be released by the committee after incorporating the suggestions/changes made by the Chief Minister, probably before Sankranti next year.
