CM Naidu orders formation of State-level executive, advisory panels for implementing P4 initiative
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu ordered the formation of State-level executive and advisory committees for effective implementation of the P4 (Public - Private - People - Partnership) initiative in the maiden general body meeting of the Swarna Andhra P4 Foundation held at the Secretariat on Friday. It was decided to form P4 chapters in each one of the district headquarters and in the constituencies. Addressing the meeting, Mr. Naidu said the government was implementing the P4 policy to improve the living standards of the poor, and told the officials to identify 15 lakh'Bangaru Kutumbams' and one lakh mentors by August 15. 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.

Ensure 15L ‘Bangaru Kutumbalu' are adopted by Aug 15: CM
Undavalli Camp Office: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has set an ambitious target for officials, directing them to ensure that 15 lakh families in Andhra Pradesh are adopted by 'Margadarsis' (mentors) under the Zero Poverty P4 mission by August 15 this year. He emphasised the urgent need to accelerate both the registration of Margadarsis and the adoption process. Addressing a review meeting on the 'Zero Poverty P4' initiative at his Undavalli camp office on Wednesday, the Chief Minister reiterated that the P4 model is an extension of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) policy, which was introduced following economic reforms. During the meeting, he also instructed that the Smart Andhra Pradesh Foundation be restructured and renamed as the Swarna Andhra P4 Foundation. Naidu highlighted the Amaravati land pooling model as a prime case study for the P4 approach, noting how it enabled wealth creation for 29,000 farmers by making them partners in the capital's development. In a similar vein, he urged each Margadarsi to adopt a 'Bangaru Kutumbam' (Golden Family) and actively work towards their upliftment. The Chief Minister announced that he would personally review the progress of the P4 initiative every 10 days. He also reviewed various P4 logo designs presented by officials. Officials informed the Chief Minister that several organisations, including Milaap, Project DEEP, Rang De and Bhargo, have expressed their willingness to collaborate as partners in the effective implementation of the P4 initiative. According to data presented to the Chief Minister, out of the 19,15,771 families registered as 'Bangaru Kutumbalu' across the State, Margadarsis have currently adopted 70,272 families. Among these adopted families, the largest proportion belongs to the BC community (26,340 families), followed by SCs (14,024 families) and STs (13,115 families).

Vision plans for all Assembly constituencies will be ready by next month, says A.P. CM
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has said that the State government would ready vision plans for Assembly constituencies by the next month. At a review meeting on the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) at the Secretariat on Wednesday, Mr. Naidu said with the State, district, and mandal-level plans in place under the Swarna Andhra Vision, constituency-specific vision plans are scheduled for completion by the next month. Thematic reports will be ready by June, and sectoral roadmaps by September, according to officials. Core policies like Zero Poverty (P4) and population management will be embedded into the vision framework, he said. Mr. Naidu highlighted the importance of capacity building at all levels of government to improve service delivery and administrative efficiency. 'From a village-level worker to a Secretary, capacity building is essential for everyone,' he said, adding that both online and offline training programmes would hone skillsets and efficiency among government employees. 'From agriculture officers to Secretaries, from constables to the DGP – everyone must undergo capacity building,' he said. 'I will personally focus on continuous learning – I learn new things, understand emerging technologies, and explore how to bring reforms through tech-driven governance. Skill development through training will yield results and improve the quality of governance,' the Chief Minister said. The State government is planning to introduce a dedicated Population Management Policy with the objective of achieving population balance. Several decisions have already been taken to encourage population growth, including the removal of limits on maternity leave for women government employees with up to two children and lifting disqualification restrictions in local body elections for those with more than two children. 'A comprehensive survey will be undertaken to understand the opportunities and challenges related to population trends, which will help shape the final policy,' Mr. Naidu said. Capacity-building workshops The capacity-building workshops being conducted in all districts will conclude by May 9. Locations have been identified in 143 constituencies to set up Constituency Vision Action Plan Units. As part of the Zero Poverty P4 initiative, 1,118 mentors have adopted 15,315 'Golden Families' across the State. To institutionalise this effort, the government is establishing the Swarna Andhra P4 Foundation, with the Chief Minister as the Chairman. A 25-member general body, an executive committee, and empowered teams will drive its mission. CM lauds Indian Army Mr. Naidu praised the swift response to the Pahalgam attack and commended Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decisive leadership. 'The Indian response has gained global support, which is a testament to the strength of Nr. Modi's foreign policy,' he said. Mr. Naidu described the execution of the anti-terror operation as 'brilliant' and said that every Indian stands united in support of Mr. Modi and the armed forces.
