The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, has initiated a unique welfare program known as Jagananna Suraksha with the aim of identifying those who have not received government benefits, and providing them with assistance. State Home Minister Dr. Taneti Vanitha made the announcement during a meeting held at the Collectorate in Rajamahendravaram.
According to Dr. Vanitha, the government has already implemented welfare programs for 99 percent of the population. However, CM Jagan is keen on reaching the remaining one percent and ensuring that the benefits of government schemes reach them as well. As part of the Jagananna Suraksha program, volunteers will collect data from every house across the district for a week starting July 24th, identify eligible persons, and provide them with welfare schemes.
The district collector, Dr. K. Madhavi Latha, revealed that 3937 secretariat secretaries and 8933 volunteers across the district have already received training under the guidance of special officers on the Jagananna Suraksha Survey. Awareness was also created regarding 11 types of services provided free of cost in this program. Applications received under Spandana and Jaganannaku Chebudam programs, which have not yet been resolved, will be resolved under the Jagananna Suraksha Scheme.
Dr. Madhavi Latha mentioned that from July 1 to July 23, village meetings will be held and certificates will be handed over to applicants received through the house-to-house survey. To ensure a smooth implementation, two teams have been formed with officials in each mandal.
The Home Minister lauded CM Jagan’s efforts, claiming that from building a local secretariat to implementing welfare schemes by knocking on every door, no other state has shown such love for the poor. She highlighted that the government aims to get the benefits of government schemes to every individual in the state.
Overall, the Jagananna Suraksha program is a unique step in the field of welfare that aims to help the remaining one percent of the population that has not benefited from government schemes. With the help of trained volunteers, the government is set to reach every corner of the district and provide assistance to those in need.
