Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu releases P-4 logo, directs formation of committees for policy implementation
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.

He noted that the P4 initiative was intended to extend long-term support to the poor, and said NRIs, industrialists and wealthy individuals should be roped in to hand-hold the poor families. He said the objective of the P-4 initiative was to eliminate poverty by 2029, while recalling the overwhelming response received by the Janmabhoomi programme, which helped create assets in villages and towns. Through P4, it was contemplated to assist the poor, thereby reducing inequalities. The top 10% of the rich people must be connected with the bottom 20%, who were languishing in poverty, he advised, and that the help being extended by the likes of Gates Foundation, Vedanta and GMR should be utilised. Chief Secretary K. Vijayanand and others took part. The Chief Minister approved a logo for the P-4 initiative.
