AP CM directs that 15 lakh poor families should be adopted by 'Margadarsis' by August 15

Vijayawada, June 4 (UNI) As part of the Zero Poverty P4 mission, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has directed officials to ensure that 15 lakh families in the state are adopted by Margadarsis (mentors) by August 15 this year.
He emphasised the need to accelerate the registration of Margadarsis and the adoption process.

Stating that the P4 model is a continuation of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) policy introduced after the economic reforms, the Chief Minister conducted a review on the Zero Poverty P4 initiative at his Undavalli camp office on Wednesday.
He directed that the Smart Andhra Pradesh Foundation be restructured as the Swarna Andhra P4 Foundation.

The Chief Minister highlighted Amaravati's land pooling model as a case study for the P4 approach, noting that wealth creation was enabled for 29,000 farmers by making them partners in capital development.
In the same spirit, he urged each Margadarsi to adopt a ‘Bangaru Kutumbam’ (Golden Family) and work towards their upliftment.
The Chief Minister asserted that he would personally review the progress of the P4 initiative once every 10 days. He also reviewed the P4 logo designs prepared by officials.
Officials informed the Chief Minister that several organisations such as Milaap, Project DEEP, Rang De, and Bhargo have come forward to collaborate as partners in implementing the P4 initiative effectively.
Out of the 19,15,771 families registered as Bangaru Kutumbalu in the state, Margadarsis have so far adopted 70,272 families. Among these, the largest numbers are from the BC community (26,340 families), followed by SCs (14,024 families) and STs (13,115 families).
