Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has explained the P-4 (Public, Private, People Partnership) initiative with a live example asking Margadarsi (a rich individual) to support a Bangaru Kutumbam (a poor family) during a programme in Narampet village, Atmakur mandal in SPSR Nellore district on Thursday.

Sharing her story, a poor woman Gnanamma said, “My husband works as a daily labourer. On the days he doesn’t work, we beg for food. We don’t have a house. When I ask for a loan, people question how will I repay it. I want to educate my children. My husband and I are non-literates. Please help us build a house.”

The Chief Minister asked her to consider her four children as their greatest assets. He said, “Educating them will secure your future. The government will allocate land and build a house for your family with essential facilities like water, electricity, gas, and toilet. We will deposit ₹4 lakh in a bank on the name of your four children.”

Nageswara Rao, an entreprenuer who came forward to help her as Margadarsi, said, “When my father passed away during my childhood, my mother used to sell vegetables to educate me. I understand the struggles of the poor. Through our Saho Foundation, we adopted and educated 190 orphan children. I will take full responsibility for educating Gnanamma’s four children.”

Mr. Naidu asked the rich people to provide financial support and uplift the poor in the State. Speaking about the government aid, he said, “We are spending ₹33,000 crore annually to provide pensions to 64 lakh people. One in every 2.5 families receives a pension. In some cases, pension income exceeds family earnings. We will ensure all eligible citizens receive welfare schemes.”

“My goal is to provide housing, drinking water taps, toilets, electricity, and gas connections under the ‘Super Six’ welfare plan. Under Talli ki Vandanam scheme, the mothers will receive ₹15,000 for each child in a household by June. We are currently delivering 270 services through WhatsApp Governance and will increase this to 1,000,” Mr. Naidu added.
