Andhra Pradesh Schedules August 19 Rollout of P4 Zero Poverty Initiative

The Chief Minister championed a voluntary, AI-driven mentorship framework enrolling 103,938 volunteers to support 937,913 families.

Overview

  • P4 is framed as a transformative Public-Private-People-Partnership movement that offers social and economic support rather than a standard welfare scheme.
  • AI analysis of an 11-question survey has prioritized the needs of beneficiary families, finding 31% require job opportunities, 22% need medical aid, and 9% seek to expand small businesses.
  • Structured governance bodies and a common digital oversight fund will manage quarterly implementation reviews to track progress and maintain transparency.
  • Volunteer mentors, known as Margadarsis, can adopt families or entire villages, with 103,938 registering so far and CM N. Chandrababu Naidu personally adopting 250 households.
  • A phased expansion across all districts aims to establish the P4 framework as a national benchmark in the campaign to eradicate poverty by 2029.
