Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu releases P-4 logo, directs formation of committees for policy implementation
Vijayawada: Chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu has directed the formation of two committees, advisory and executive, for the effective implementation of P-4 policy which has been launched to fight poverty. Naidu chaired the first general body meeting of the P-4 Foundation on Friday after its formation. It was also decided to form P-4 chapters at the district and constituency levels. Addressing public representatives and district and mandal level officials who participated in the meeting through video conference, Naidu said the P-4 scheme aims to reduce disparities between the rich and the poor in society. "The state govt has set an ambitious target of achieving zero poverty, and has set a target of connecting 15 lakh poor families with one lakh guides. There needs to be more clarity on the role of guides, as it is not just about giving money to the poor but also empowering them," he explained. Clarifying that poor families who receive support from their guides will not be denied any welfare programs, Naidu said P-4 program is independent of the welfare schemes currently being implemented. "Spending money is not enough to eradicate poverty. If money were the only criterion, much was spent in the last 75 years," he said. The CM also launched a logo for P-4 scheme, which represents the goals of the state govt.

Chandrababu Naidu has said that 21.86 lakh new pattadar passbooks will be issued in the first phase from August and regularisation of unobjectionable government lands completed by the end of 2025. Addressing a review meeting on the Revenue Department on Friday, Mr. Naidu ordered that due priority be accorded to solving the problems that arose during the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) regime. Besides, the re-survey should be completed by the end of 2027, he added. Mr. Naidu said 17,600 revenue grievance meetings had been organised after the coalition government was formed, and of the 1.85 lakh petitions received, 1,84,332 were resolved. Out of 1.93 lakh auto-mutation applications, 1.77 lakh were processed, and a special drive was underway to resolve the pending ones. GoM meet on July 9 The Chief Minister told the officials to explain the legal complications in land matters to the affected parties so that amicable settlements could be reached. The Group of Ministers (GoM) would meet on July 9 to discuss the regularisation of freehold lands in order to reach a final resolution by October 2025. Mr. Naidu instructed the officials to bring out a new Revenue Manual, comprising all policies and by August, and that QR codes should be printed on the pattadar passbooks. Pictures of former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy that had been embossed on 77.90 lakh survey stones were removed. Having completed it, steps should be taken to issue new passbooks, he said. The Chief Minister asked the officials to issue succession certificates in respect of inherited lands and delegate the required powers to the officers concerned in the ward / village secretariats. If the value of such lands was up to ₹10 lakh, a sum of ₹100 should be paid to obtain the said certificate, and ₹1,000 if the value exceeded ₹10 lakh. House sites for journalists He also instructed the officials to look into the issue of sanction of house sites to journalists by duly complying with the relevant Supreme Court judgment. As on date, 99,390 applications were received for house sites, which required an allotment of 2,051 acres under the Housing-for-All scheme. As per the manifesto, two cents should be acquired per beneficiary in towns and three cents in villages. The grievances received at the revenue meetings should be audited by private teams, he said, and asked the officials to retain the surveyors in the ward / village secretariats until the re-survey was completed. The exercise to repeal the A.P. Non-Agricultural Lands Assessment Act must be completed and a report submitted to the Cabinet at the earliest, the Chief Minister said. Mr. Naidu suggested that the Revenue Department provide a visual interface on the land portal so that ownership and boundary details would be displayed clearly. This would enable the potential buyers and sellers to verify information without much hassle. Revenue Minister Anagani Satya Prasad and Chief Commissioner of Land Administration G. Jayalakshmi were among other officials present.
