Nine departments, including that of energy headed by Mr Naidu, the health department held by Kamineni Srinivas and the municipal administration department headed by K. Narayana have been awarded three stars, the top ratings.

Nine other departments, including the police department, part of the home ministry with Deputy Chief Minister N. China Rajappa at the helm and Devenini Uma’s irrigation department got two stars. The finance department, headed by Yanamala Ramakrishnudu and the revenue department got one star each.
