Andhra Pradesh to launch ‘P4 poverty alleviation programme’ on Ugadi, says Naidu
Through P4, the top 10 per cent of society, which is financially well-off, will lend an uplifting hand to the bottom 20 per cent, says AP CM
Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday said his State government will launch P4, or Public-Private-People Partnership (PPPP), a poverty alleviation programme, on Ugadi festival day.
Through P4, the Chief Minister said the top 10 per cent of society, which is financially well-off, will lend an uplifting hand to the bottom 20 per cent to achieve better results.
To create comprehensive rules for this initiative, a special portal will be developed to elicit public opinion and suggestions, the Chief Minister told officials, according to an official press release.
Noting that some industrialists, NRIs, and a few wealthy individuals have come forward to uplift the poor, the Chief Minister said they would all be brought under a single umbrella for implementing P4.
According to the Telugu Desam Party supremo, a few industrialists have expressed interest in developing their native villages and mandals, and they will be personally invited on Ugadi Day, March 30, for the PPPP launch.
Besides, Naidu said a ‘special survey’ will be conducted to identify the poorest and reach out to them to extend a helping hand.
