APSRTC JMD stresses need to safeguard revenues, ensure transparency

The APSRTC Transport Academy, in association with the corporation’s head office, has launched a special training programme for depot managers to prevent technical irregularities, financial discrepancies and revenue losses while strengthening administrative accountability.

The first batch of the two-day programme commenced at the APSRTC head office in Vijayawada on Tuesday, with 30 depot managers from across the State participating in the event. APSRTC Joint Managing Director (JMD) M. Siva Prasad, Executive Director (Administration) K.S. Brahmananda Reddy and Executive Director (Engineering) G.V. Ravi Varma attended the programme.

Addressing the participants, Joint Managing Director Siva Prasad stressed the need to safeguard corporation revenues, ensure transparency and strengthen accountability. He called upon depot managers to identify technology-related irregularities, prevent revenue leakages, regularly scrutinise records and financial transactions, and improve inter-departmental coordination.

The training covers Personnel, Accounts, Mechanical, Operations, Commercial/Logistics and IT-related matters, with senior officials and subject experts providing practical guidance on depot administration, financial management, record maintenance and inspection procedures.

The programme will be conducted in four batches from November 10 to 20, covering a total of 125 depot managers. The initiative aims to strengthen financial discipline, curb technical irregularities and improve the efficiency of depot-level administration. Transport Academy Principal P. Chakra Teja is supervising the programme.
