Collector urges volunteers to adopt families under P4 scheme
Paderu (ASR District): Alluri Sitarama Raju district collector AS Dinesh Kumar has called upon volunteers and mentors to come forward and adopt 'Bangaru Kutumbalu' (Golden Families) under the prestigious P4 (Public, Private, People Partnership) programme. Addressing a media conference at the District Collectorate on Monday, the collector said the innovative P4 scheme was launched in March by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu with the goal of transforming lives through collective partnerships. A detailed survey was conducted from March 9 to 25 to identify underprivileged families eligible for support. The collector said that out of 352 village and ward secretariats in the district, a survey was completed in 144, identifying 92,683 Bangaru families with a total population of 3,13,041 members. He appealed to donors and citizens to adopt these families to support their social and economic development. He clarified that financial aid is not mandatory for mentors, and simply guiding and mentoring the families would be sufficient. The primary goal of the P4 scheme is to uplift families from poverty to prosperity, he stressed. He also mentioned that details of eligible Bangaru families have been uploaded online, making it possible for anyone across the country to adopt a family through the portal. The district administration will always be available to assist the mentors throughout their journey. Setting an example, the Collector himself adopted a farm labourer's family from Ainada village in Paderu mandal. Joint Collector Dr MJ Abhishek Gowda also adopted a family from Guthulaputtu village. Collector AS Dinesh Kumar also announced that the 'Aakanksha Hot' programme will be conducted from August 2 to 25 as part of the Sampoornta Abhiyaan Samman Samaroh initiative. He expressed happiness over the district being recognised as an Aspirational District under the NITI Aayog framework. He said that in the Rampachodavaram division, Gangavaram, Maredumilli, and Mylavaram blocks have been identified as aspirational blocks. The programme will focus on six key areas Health & Nutrition, Agriculture, Education, Model School Development, and Social Development. The collector informed that the district has received an incentive of Rs 10 crore under NITI Aayog's support. Branding coffee and other horticulture crops under the label 'Made in Araku' has opened up better income opportunities for tribal farmers, he noted. TRICOR Collector Sahith, Deputy Collector MS Lokeswara Rao, CPO PVL Prasad, and other officials were present at the media interaction.

Chirala: Bapatla district collector J Venkata Murali informed that financial assistance will be provided to Golden Families identified under the P4 scheme to lift them out of poverty during a constituency-level meeting held at the Municipal Office in Chirala on Saturday. In the meeting focused on P4, Surya Ghar, and handloom development initiatives, Collector Murali and Chirala MLA M Malakondaiah felicitated local handloom artisans following the national award received for Kuppadam silk sarees under the 'One District One Product' (ODOP) initiative. During the event, the collector distributed loans worth Rs 6.00 crores to 30 DWCRA groups under MEPMA and Rs 7.00 crores to 40 DWACRA groups under Velugu through cheques. Drawing inspiration from Dr BR Ambedkar's journey from poverty to becoming the architect of India's Constitution, Collector Murali emphasised the crucial role of mentors in eradicating poverty. He revealed that under Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu's P4 policy, he has adopted 10 destitute families from Cherukupalli mandal. The collector said that in the Chirala constituency, 8,405 Golden Families have been identified, with 402 mentors already assigned to 4,400 families. He appealed for mentors to come forward for the remaining 4,000 families, promising government recognition and respect for their service. For handloom development, the collector emphasised the need to provide liberal loans to weavers and criticised the approval of only 327 units out of 1695 solar power applications. He said plans to establish ODOP stalls at Bapatla, Chirala, Vadarevu, and Suryalanka Beach to promote Kuppadam sarees, incorporating modern technology like scanners to share the history of these traditional garments. The collector also announced that the government has agreed to develop the 26-acre Handloom Park in Devangapuri, Chirala mandal, into a Handloom MSME hub to boost the sector further. Chirala RDO Chandrsekhar, Municipal Chairman M Sambasiva Rao, DRDA PD Srinivasa Rao, CPO Shalom Raju, Handlooms AD Raghunanda, and officials from various departments also participated in the programme.

BC hostels will developed under P-4 model: Savitha
Vijayawada: BC welfare minister S Savitha said that Backward Classes (BC) hostels in the state will undergo development under the ambitious P-4 model championed by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. As part of this initiative, the government will seek assistance from donors and successful students who have benefited from the NTR Overseas Education Scheme. Minister Savitha in a statement here on Friday said that Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu initiated the P-4 model as a key component of the Swarnandhra @ 2047 vision, aimed at poverty eradication in the state. The P-4 programme is designed to encourage the top 10 per cent of economically well-off individuals, as part of their social responsibility, to support 20 per cent of the less fortunate. She appealed to students who benefited from the NTR Overseas Education Scheme between 2016 and 2019 to become partners in this well-intentioned programme, named 'Margadarshulu' (Guides) and 'Bangaru Kutumbalu' (Golden Families), and contribute to the development of BC hostels. She suggested that individuals could adopt a hostel, or even one or two students, and support their higher education. Financial assistance could be provided for tasks such as constructing or repairing toilets and compound walls, or setting up RO plants for drinking water. Donors could also install solar power panels for electricity, build additional facility rooms, establish libraries, or provide inverters, CCTV cameras, computers, and other essential electronic items for students. Savitha requested the NTR Overseas Education Scheme students interested in social service and wishing to support poor BC students to contact via email at [email protected] or by phone at 6300876401 and 7989344521.
