The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, is set to launch the expansion of the NTR Bharosa pension scheme on July 1st. This scheme, aimed at uplifting the economically disadvantaged, will benefit approximately 65,18,496 individuals within the state.
This altruistic move by Naidu is set to revolutionize the existing pension standards, offering significant financial upliftment to the underprivileged. The rollout, commencing July 1st, marks a concrete step towards financial inclusivity across all social strata in Andhra Pradesh.
Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and other NDA ministers and legislators will back the initiative. The kickoff event is scheduled at Penumaka of Amaravati, an area with historical significance that links it to the Amma Vodi initiative.
As part of the scheme’s ceremonial beginning, Naidu will distribute the enhanced pensions to ST pensioners Islavath Sai and Banavath Pamulu at Penumaka.
