P4 Scheme in Andhra Pradesh Targets 15 Lakh Impoverished Families for Poverty Eradication by Aug 15

Andhra Pradesh has launched the Public Private People Partnership (P4) Scheme with a clear goal: to identify 15 lakh poor families and appoint 1 lakh guides by August 15, 2025. This scheme aims to reduce poverty and improve socio-economic status by bringing together the government, private citizens, and the community. Here, you will find out how this ambitious scheme works and what it means for the people of Andhra Pradesh.

Understanding the P4 Scheme and Its Goals

The P4 Scheme is a major effort to end poverty in Andhra Pradesh by 2029. It’s called the Public Private People Partnership because it combines government, private citizens, and community members to fight poverty together. The scheme focuses on closing economic gaps by involving rich individuals and philanthropists to help poor families, called “Bangaru Kutumbams” or golden families.

How Andhra Pradesh Plans to Identify 15 Lakh Poor Families

To reach the right people, the government is working to identify 15 lakh Bangaru Kutumbams by August 15, 2025. This involves detailed surveys and data collection at the local level. Identifying these families correctly makes sure that support and resources reach those who really need them, laying the base for lasting socio-economic improvement.

Role and Recruitment of 1 Lakh Guides for Mentorship

One special part of the scheme is appointing 1 lakh guides. These guides will mentor poor families, providing ongoing support instead of just one-time help. Mentors include NRIs, industrialists, and philanthropists already involved in social work. Their role is key to keep progress going and to make sure poverty is reduced successfully.

Involving the Top 10% Rich Individuals and Philanthropists

The P4 Scheme encourages the richest 10% of society to support and uplift the poorest 20%. This culture of giving back creates a meaningful partnership where wealth supports social progress. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu highlighted this approach by pointing to successful philanthropic examples like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and foundations by Vedanta and GMR. They show how wealth and goodwill can reduce inequality when used wisely.

Structure and Governance of the P4 Scheme

The scheme works through the Swarnandhra-P4 Foundation, which has two main committees:

• A State-level Executive Committee
• An Advisory Committee

These groups handle implementation with clarity and responsibility.

Also, district and constituency level P4 chapters have vice chairmen, ministers, public representatives, and government officials. This local management helps the scheme reach every community effectively.

Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s Vision for Poverty Reduction

Chief Minister Naidu is leading the P4 Scheme. At the Swarnandhra-P4 Foundation general body meeting, he shared a clear goal of lowering poverty levels and helping poor families.

“With P4, our goal is to end poverty in the state by 2029. This isn’t an easy target—it’s a challenge we have to win to make history. Once we are determined, even the impossible becomes possible.”

He reminded everyone of the need for mentors who stay actively involved, not just give one-time help. His leadership aims to organize a large network of citizens dedicated to making a difference through the P4 platform.

Through this scheme, you can also watch and take part in one of India’s promising poverty reduction efforts. Stay connected to local P4 events in your district or community and see how these efforts improve lives.
