The correct answer is: a) Raise additional revenue.
Disinvestment is the process of selling off government-owned assets. The Andhra Pradesh government’s disinvestment program aims to raise additional revenue by selling off some of its stakes in state-owned enterprises. This revenue can be used to fund development projects, reduce the state’s debt burden, or provide relief to taxpayers.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option b) is not the main goal of disinvestment. While reducing government stake in enterprises may be a secondary goal, the main goal is to raise revenue.
- Option c) is not the main goal of disinvestment. While improving efficiency may be a benefit of disinvestment, it is not the main goal.
- Option d) is not the main goal of disinvestment. While attracting private investment may be a benefit of disinvestment, it is not the main goal.
