Collector asks officials not to include ineligible families in P4 programme
His words assumed significance as the officials selected nearly 62,500 families but the number had come down to 37,500 after filtration. It was observed that many government officials and staff worked casually and selected the families randomly instead of doing proper assessment about their socio-economic condition. The District Collector intervened and made many changes in the list by collecting the data from other sources.
'Right now, we have identified 37,500 golden families and our target is 50,000 families by August 15. We are hopeful that the target can be reached. Fortunately, the response from mentors is also good. The entire process of selection of mentors is being done in a transparent way. We asked officials not to force anyone to be mentor since it is to be done voluntarily after understanding the concept of P4 designed to eradicate poverty completely in the State,' said Mr. Ambedkar.

YSRCP student wing protest bar on entry into schools
YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) student wing criticised the State government's decision to bar the entry of unauthorised persons into school premises. The YSRCP student wing, led by its district president Chandrasekhar Yadav, staged a protest by sitting on their knees in front of the Ambedkar statue near the Zilla Parishad office in Anantapur on Monday. They demanded the rollback of the decision of the Education Department which had directed the Regional Joint Directors (RJDs) and District Education Officers (DEOs) not to allow unauthorised individuals or groups into the school premises without prior permission from the head of the institution. Speaking at the protest, Mr. Chandrasekhar Yadav said that the government issued the circular fearing that its failure in education sector would come to light. 'If the State government is confident of delivering better governance, why should it bar the entry of student union leaders and others from entering schools?' he questioned. 'When a prisoner lodged in a prison is allowed to meet an outsider, why can't children be allowed to meet outsiders in their schools?, Mr. Chandrasekhar Yadav asked. He alleged that the education sector is in doldrums in the present dispensation and questioned the silence of Deputy Chief Minister and Jana Sena Party (JSP) chief Pawan Kalyan over the issue. The student wing State general secretary Vijay alleged that the education sector in the State has derailed in the one year rule of the NDA government.
