Derive full benefit from MGNREGS, farmers urged
Cherlopalli: Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee (MGNREGS) scheme is not limited to just wage-based labour, but includes a variety of programmes that farmers must utilise effectively, said Raptadu MLA Paritala Sunitha. The MLA inaugurated a fruit plantation programme under MGNREGS at Cherlopalli village of Ramagiri mandal. As part of the initiative, 280 fruit saplings were planted on a 4-acre farm belonging to a farmer named Koduru Rakesh. The event witnessed active participation from officials and local TDP leaders. Speaking on the occasion, MLA Sunitha stated that the MGNREGS is a boon for farmers. She criticised the previous government for allegedly discriminating in the allocation of scheme benefits based on political affiliations, questioning whether beneficiaries belonged to TDP or YSRCP. In contrast, she asserted that the current government was delivering schemes to farmers without any political bias. She informed that fruit plantation activities have been approved across 900 acres in Ramagiri, Chennekothapalli and Kanaganapalli mandals, and over 850 acres in Anantapur Rural, Atmakur, and Raptadu mandals. The government is covering the full cost, including transportation, at Rs64 per sapling. Currently, the government is supplying mango and guava saplings. However, Sunitha encouraged farmers to invest in and plant other valuable fruit-bearing trees if they prefer. She advised them to care for the plants as if they were their own children, emphasising that these trees would support them in the future. She urged all farmers to take full advantage of every component under the MGNREGS and use it for long-term agricultural benefit.

Install solar rooftops, save on power bills: MLA Sunitha
Raptadu: Raptadu MLA Paritala Sunitha urged residents to adopt PM Surya Ghar Yojana to reduce electricity bills by installing rooftop solar panels. At a review meeting with electricity department officials in Anantapur on Saturday, she focussed on effective scheme implementation. Sri Sathya Sai district electricity SE Sampath Kumar and other officials attended. Sunitha emphasised raising awareness among households about the scheme and directed officials to identify homes suitable for solar installations. She also advocated installing solar panels on government buildings, schools, and colleges to maximize long-term benefits. The MLA highlighted that a 1 kW rooftop system, requiring just 10 square meters of space, could lower monthly electricity bills from over Rs 1,000 to around Rs 338 for households using 120 units. Under PM Surya Ghar Yojana, the Central government provides 60% subsidy for 2 kW systems and 40% for additional costs on 2–3 kW systems, offering up to Rs 78,000 in financial assistance for systems up to 3 kW. Sunitha noted that families could generate their own electricity and earn income by selling surplus power. She announced that mandal-level awareness programs will soon be launched across the constituency to boost participation. The MLA stressed that the scheme offers a significant opportunity to ease the burden of rising electricity costs while promoting sustainable energy practices.

Jagan played politics even with children's education: MLA Sunitha
Kurnool: Raptadu MLA Paritala Sunitha launched a scathing attack on former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, accusing him of politicizing children's education. She referred to Jagan as a 'psycho' for allegedly using students for political publicity during his tenure. Speaking at the Vidya Mitra School Kit distribution programme held at the Zilla Parishad High School in Raptadu, Sunitha criticized the previous YSRCP government for printing the Jagan's photographs on school kits like bags and belts. In contrast, she praised the current TDP-led government for using the images of great visionaries such as Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan on the kits, saying, 'This is about inspiration, not promotion.' On her arrival at the school, students and staff gave MLA Sunitha a warm welcome. She paid floral tributes to the statues of Saraswati Devi and Dr. Radhakrishnan, and participated in the celebrations following the disbursal of 15,000 under the 'Talli ki Vandhanam' scheme to eligible mothers of students. The event featured milk abhishekam (milk anointing) to portraits of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, and Education Minister Nara Lokesh in honor of their contributions to education. Sunitha personally handed over the Vidya Mitra Kits to students and inspected the school's infrastructure, interacting with both teachers and students about their needs. Highlighting the scale of the initiative, she stated that 3,000 students in Raptadu mandal alone were given Vidya Mitra kits. Across Andhra Pradesh, 36 lakh students are receiving these kits, with a budget allocation of 950 crore. She further noted that under the 'Talli ki Vandhanam' program, 6.5 crore was distributed to 5,000 mothers in Raptadu, while 8,800 crore has been sanctioned for 68 lakh beneficiaries statewide. In the first phase, 7,200 crore was already disbursed to 55 lakh beneficiaries. Slamming YSRCP leaders for 'politicizing even small incidents' post-defeat, she cited an example of how an incident involving the abuse of a girl was repeatedly politicized for mileage instead of offering solace.
