Govt sets record with large-scale pension distribution at the doorstep
Gotkuru (Anantapur district): Finance Minister Payyavula Keshav participated in the pension distribution drive under the NTR Bharosa Scheme in Gotkuru village, Kuderu Mandal, on Saturday. The Minister accompanied by district Collector Dr Vinod Kumar V visited the homes of beneficiaries and personally handed over pensions.
Speaking on the occasion, Keshav highlighted that the State government is distributing pensions on the 1st of every month, or a day earlier if it falls on a Sunday, ensuring timely support to the needy. The distribution is conducted at beneficiaries' doorsteps, with participation from top-level leaders including Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu down to village-level functionaries. He emphasised that Andhra Pradesh is the only State in India implementing pension distribution on such a massive scale, covering nearly 60 lakh beneficiaries with monthly pensions ranging from Rs 4,000 to Rs 15,000. Despite severe financial burdens and outstanding dues exceeding Rs 10 lakh crore, the government remains committed to fulfilling its promises.
Minister Keshav assured that schemes like Annadata Sukhibhava (for farmers) and Thalliki Vandanam (educational support for children) will be implemented soon. He criticized the previous government for pushing the State into financial distress and hailed Chief Minister Naidu's leadership for steering Andhra Pradesh back on track through welfare and economic reforms.
District Collector Dr Vinod Kumar stated that Rs 124 crore is being distributed to 2,77,834 pensioners across the district. Since June 1st falls on a Sunday, the distribution was conducted a day earlier, ensuring smooth and timely delivery. Other officials present included RDO Keshava Naidu, DRDA PD Shailaja, Tahsildar Mahboob Basha, and MPDO Kullayi Swamy.

$3 trillion economy goal for Telangana by 2047 when India turns 100, says CM A Revanth Reddy
Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy HYDERABAD: On the occasion of the 11th Telangana Formation Day on Monday, chief minister A Revanth Reddy set a new target of making the state a $3 trillion economy by 2047 and increasing its contribution to the GDP from 5% to 10%. Speaking at the Formation Day celebrations at Parade Grounds, the CM presented the progress report of the 16-month-old Congress govt and sought the cooperation of all political parties, bureaucracy, industrialists and all sections in the state to make Telangana number one in the country. He said the state govt was working in mission mode to ensure that Telangana plays a pivotal role in developing India into a $30 trillion economy by 2047 when the country would celebrate its Independence centenary. "As part of it, the Telangana Rising 2047 action plan has been prepared to turn the state into a $1 trillion economy in the next 10 years and $3 trillion by 2047. The govt has plans to not only develop Telangana as the number one state in the country but also make it capable of competing with the world," the CM said. While sharing several achievements of the state govt such as Rs 20,600 crore crop loan waiver for farmers, nearly 60,000 govt and one lakh private jobs for the unemployed and other welfare schemes, the CM referred to the apolitical stand of the Congress govt in Telangana for the country by extending full support to the Centre and the armed forces during Operation Sindoor.
