Chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu will inaugurate the scheme at Veerayapalem village under Darsi mandal of Prakasam district. As many as 46.85 lakh farmers will benefit from the scheme. While the state government is providing Rs 5,000 to each farmer in the first tranche, the Union government will disburse ₹2,000. In total, Annadata Sukhibhava aims to transfer Rs 20,000 to farmers in three instalments, inclusive of PM-Kisan benefits. During a review meeting held on Thursday with senior officials from the finance, revenue, water resources, and agriculture departments, the chief minister directed officials to ensure that every eligible farmer receives the financial support directly into their bank accounts. "For the NDA government, supporting farmers is not a burden but a responsibility," Naidu stated.

HC directs state to ensure proper functioning of monitoring panels
Madurai: has directed the state to ensure that the district high level monitoring committees, constituted to monitor and prevent unauthorised constructions, are functioning by strictly following the guidelines issued in the 2024 GO. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The court was hearing a public interest litigation filed by R Mayilsamy. The govt pleader submitted that pursuant to the GO dated March 1, 2024, the Madurai collector issued proceedings dated Oct 24, constituting a committee, with the collector as the chairperson. Madurai corporation commissioner is the convenor-member, while Madurai city commissioner of police, Madurai district superintendent of police, and other officials are members. However, the petitioner submitted that though the committee was constituted, no action was initiated for the removal of encroachments. The complaints filed by the aggrieved people are not dealt with and are kept pending for a long time. A division bench of justice S M Subramaniam and justice A D Maria Clete directed the Madurai collector to consider all such applications/complaints filed for the removal of encroachments/unauthorised constructions, etc., in the manner known to law. Enforcement actions shall be initiated to deal with the complaints by following procedures as contemplated in the GO. The complaints are to be dealt with and disposed of within a timeline to be fixed by the collector. Keeping such petitions pending for a long time would cause prejudice to the interest of the complainants who are suffering on account of unauthorised constructions in several locations. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The GO itself states that meetings are to be conducted periodically and a report is to be submitted to the state level committee. However, the petitioner-in-person states that no such report has been submitted by the collector to the state level committee so far, the judges observed and disposed of the petition.
