Minister Kondapalli urges entrepreneurs to be part of A.P. govt.'s P-4 programme
Minister for Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) and NRI Affairs Kondapalli Srinivas on Monday (August 11, 2025), urged all the entrepreneurs and affluent families to be part of Andhra Pradesh government's unique programme Public-Private-People-Partnership (P4) to eradicate poverty permanently in the State of Andhra Pradesh.
Speaking to The Hindu here, he said that nearly 20 lakh marginalised families would be covered under the programme and they would be called as golden families under the programme.
'The rich people can adopt a few families and take care of their welfare in all aspects under the P4 programme'' he said. Mr. Srinivas said that the financial assistance and proper care about studies and career of the children of selected families would ensure desired change in the society.
Mr. Srinivas said that the Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's innovative programmes such as Janma Bhoomi and P4 had caught the attention of the nation since they promoted individual social responsibility. 'The department will hold meetings for the entrepreneurs and others to promote the P4 concept to achieve 20 lakh golden families goal very soon,' he added.

Bihar at a crossroads
For decades after India's Independence, undivided Bihar was synonymous with socio-economic backwardness. It stood at the head of the BIMARU States, which also included undivided Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, besides Rajasthan, that were known for high population growth rates, poor health indicators, low literacy, and debilitating poverty. Although things have slowly changed, with the political mobilisation of the backward castes around reservation benefits and with greater allocations from the Centre, development has still been uneven. This e-book from The Hindu with essays from subject experts and journalists traces Bihar's development trajectory—the challenges and the opportunities, the Nitish Kumar phenomenon, the rise of the BJP to a leading player, the caste equations that undergird political alliances, and the re-emergence of Lalu Prasad with his son in the forefront—within the context of what promises to be a historic election. 1.

Police remove protesting conservancy workers in Chennai, shift them to marriage halls
In a late night operation on Wednesday (August 13, 2025), the police detained all the conservancy workers of the Greater Chennai Corporation, who have been staging a protest for the past 13 days demanding that privatisation of conservancy operations be dropped in two zones of the city. Nearly 400 police personnel, who were deployed from around 11.30 p.m. on Wednesday (August 13, 2025), began removing the conservancy workers. Around 600 protesters, including advocates and members of the Communist parties, were removed from the pavement. Chennai conservancy workers protests: So far, around 600 protesters, including advocates and members of communist parties were moved forcibly from the pavements. Video credits: — The Hindu (@the_hindu) August 13, 2025 They were transported in as many as 15 buses to several private marriage halls near Kannappar Thidal, according to police. Many of the protesters fled the spot as soon as the operation began. Earlier in the day, the workers said that their protest would continue till Chief Minister M.K. Stalin intervenes and resolves the standoff between them and the Corporation over the privatisation of solid waste management in the Royapuram and Thiru. Vi. Ka. Nagar Zones and their demand for job permanency. Their decision comes even after the Madras High Court, on Wednesday, ruled that the workers can protest only in authorised places. In a letter sent to the Chief Minister on Wednesday (August 13, 2025), the Uzhaippor Urimai Iyakkam (UUI) requested urgent intervention on issues affecting sanitation workers in Royapuram and Thiru-Vi-Ka Nagar Zones (V and VI), who have been protesting since August 1, 2025 against the privatisation of solid waste management and to seek job permanency. The letter stated that without a satisfactory response from the Chief Minister, the protest would continue.

So far, around 600 protesters were moved forcibly from pavements and are being transported to several private marriage halls. Pic credit: R. Ragu — The Hindu (@the_hindu) August 13, 2025 The requests include immediate reinstatement of removed workers, payment of pending wages, regularisation of jobs for those under the National Urban Livelihood Mission, and implementation of government promises made to them from 2021. They sought permanent employment for 1,200 workers before September 30, 2025, statutory benefits, improved safety measures, and written assurances from the government on job security and the withdrawal of contract labour arrangements. Balamma, a conservancy worker of Royapuram Zone (V), claimed that since 3 p.m., the Ripon Buildings premises was closed and women had to walk till the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium to use public toilets. ' We will not move until job permanency is offered and privatisation is rolled back,' she added. K. Bharathi of UUI said, 'As the Opposition leader, Mr. Stalin had written to the then State government seeking to make the workers' jobs permanent. The DMK also promised permanency and benefits in its poll manifesto in 2021. . The ongoing protest is to demand the fulfilment of these promises. Hence, the Chief Minister must address this.' Mayor's call to workers Meanwhile, Mayor R. Priya asked the workers to join the private firm, Ramky Enviro, and begin conservancy work. She said both the GCC and the workers had approached the Madras High Court. 'Based on the High Court order, the protesting conservancy workers in front of Ripon Building have been asked to disperse and have been requested to join the private firm engaged for conservancy work in Royapuram and Thiru-Vi-Ka Nagar Zones,' she said. With privatisation, there is job security and additional benefits, with a safe and systematic work structure for the workers, she said. 'Only after they join the firm, there will be contracts and certain paperwork, only after which salary situations can be determined,' she added. Meanwhile, a total of 2,145.06 tonnes of waste was cleared from Royapuram Zone (V) and Thiru. Vi. Ka. Nagar Zone (VI) during a mass cleaning drive on August 11 and 12, according to data released by the GCC.
