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.
