The Taliki Vandanam scheme will specifically benefit mothers of children entering class one and intermediate this academic year. The funds are to be released as soon as the admissions are finalised and the necessary data is available. A Government Order (GO) detailing the procedures will be issued today.
In addition to the Taliki Vandanam scheme, the government is also actively implementing a range of other initiatives from the Super Six promises, including pension increases, the Anna Canteen programme, Mega DSC, and Deepam-2.

Siddaramaiah urges Andhra CM to withdraw ban on entry of Totapuri mangoes into Chittoor district
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has requested N. Chandrababu Naidu, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh to withdraw the ban on entry of 'Totapuri mangoes from Karnataka into Chittoor district. Mr. Siddaramaiah has written a letter to Mr. Naidu in this regard on June 11, stating his 'deep concern over an order reportedly issued by the District Collector of Chittoor on June 7, imposing a ban on the entry of Totapuri mangoes from other States into the district.' 'I understand that multidisciplinary enforcement teams comprising officials from the revenue, police, forest, and marketing departments have been deployed at the inter-State check-posts adjoining Tamil Nadu and Karnataka to implement this directive. However, this abrupt and unilateral move has caused considerable hardship to mango growers in Karnataka, particularly those in the border regions who cultivate Totapuri mangoes in substantial quantities,' he said. 'These farmers have long relied on the robust linkages with Chittoor-based processing and pulp extraction units for marketing their produce. The current restriction has disrupted this well-established supply chain and threatens significant post-harvest losses, directly impacting the livelihoods of thousands of farmers. Moreover, actions of this nature, taken without prior consultation or coordination, run contrary to the spirit of cooperative federalism. I am also concerned that this may lead to avoidable tension and retaliatory measures, with stakeholders already expressing discontent that could potentially disrupt the inter-State movement of vegetables and other agricultural commodities,' he further stated .

Naidu launches ‘Talliki Vandanam', ₹10,091 crore to be disbursed for 67 lakh students
On the occasion of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government completing one year in office, the State government has decided to implement the 'Talliki Vandanam' (Salutation to Mother) scheme. As part of this, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu handed over the G.O.s (Government Orders) related to the scheme to Human Resources Development (HRD) Minister Nara Lokesh. The Chief Minister, along with Mr. Lokesh, held a press conference on the one-year governance of the coalition government on Thursday. Mr. Naidu said that among the 'Super Six' initiatives, Talliki Vandanam is the most crucial one. Under this scheme, ₹10,091 crore will be spent annually for 67.27 lakh students, out of which ₹1,346 crore will go towards improving school infrastructure. 'Higher allocation, more coverage' ''There is a major difference between Talliki Vandanam and the previous government's 'Amma Vodi'. They only covered 42,61,965 students, while the NDA government is covering 67,27,164 students, an increase of 24,65,199 beneficiaries. They spent ₹5,540 crore; the present government is allocating ₹8,745 crore, which is ₹3,205 crore more,'' he said. Mr. Naidu said that out of the 67.27 lakh beneficiaries, 29.82 lakh are BCs, 11.76 lakh SCs, 4.26 lakh STs, 66,500 minorities, and 8.44 lakh EBC students. 'This is a step toward demographic equity,' he said, adding, there are 18,55,760 families with one child, 29,10,644 with two children, 6,32,052 with three, and 80,212 mothers with four children. The Chief Minister explained that even students of Class 1 and Intermediate first year have been included, and once school admissions are confirmed, funds will be transferred. In the absence of mother, the amount will go to the father or guardian. For orphans, the District Collector will designate a recipient. The scheme will also cover 76,000 students studying in private unaided schools, he said. 'Whatever I promised, I am implementing it. We promised that no matter how many children a family has, every student would receive support under Talliki Vandanam, and today we have kept our word,' Mr. Naidu said. Aid to farmers Referring to other promises under Super Six, Mr. Naidu said that 'Annadata Sukhibhava' will be implemented on June 20 under which, including the Centre's contribution of ₹6,000, farmers will receive ₹20,000 in three instalments annually. ''The previous government gave only ₹7,500. Now farmers will get ₹6,500 additionally,'' he added. The free bus travel for women will be implemented from August 15. 'Adabidda Nidhi' would be dovetailed with P4. Under the Deepam scheme, women are getting three free LPG cylinders. Thus all Super Six promises are being implemented,'' the Chief Minister said.
