He was addressing a gathering at the Praja Vedika during an awareness meeting on the newly launched P4 (People-Public-Private-Partnership) programme.
Naidu reiterated his long-standing goal to eliminate poverty from the State by 2029. 'My dream is to make Andhra Pradesh a State without poverty. Through the P4 initiative, we aim to uplift 15 to 20 lakh poor families,' he said, adding that the programme will be a global model and succeed with the blessings of Lord Venkateswara.
'If we support these golden children, their confidence will grow, and they, in turn, will uplift others,' he added, referring to the Bangaru Kutumbams (golden families) scheme under P4.
P4 beneficiaries share their journeys of struggle & hope
Beneficiaries of the P4 initiative shared emotional stories of hardship and aspiration at the Praja Vedika, drawing applause and support from officials, community leaders, and NGOs.
A beneficiary named D Vinutha said that she scored 986 marks in Intermediate BiPC and is currently pursuing long-term coaching for medical entrance. Her sister Anitha has completed Intermediate, and her brother Ganesh is in Class 10. The siblings lost their mother in 2014 and their father during the COVID-19 pandemic and have been raised by their grandparents.
'If we get the right guidance, we will study well, reach good positions, and guide others,' Vinutha said. Rotary Club President Rajendra Shetty praised the Chief Minister for his vision and pledged that the Rotary Club would sponsor the education of Vinutha and her siblings. 'Chandrababu is a boon from Lord Venkateswara,' Shetty said.
Another beneficiary, Eshwari, lost her husband in 2019 and receives no support from her in-laws. She is raising two sons, currently in Classes 8 and 5. Moved by her story, Senior Scientist Srinivas from Ras Vignana Kendram announced that his organisation would sponsor her sons' education and offer her a beautician training course.

She came to know about Annadana services being continued by Tulasi Rambabu at Veeravasaram and visited the venue on Wednesday. She congratulated his family. She tasted the food items. She enquired Rambabu on details of his food donation. Rambabu explained that for the last five years, food items have been served at their homes to about 200 elderly people and those who cannot prepare food in 18 villages of Veeravasaram mandal. He said that along with vegetables, non-vegetarian curry is also being served every Wednesday and Sunday. He said that besides cooking every day, food in steel boxes is sent to the homes of the needy, which is enough for two meals. He said that five staff members have been appointed for all the work of preparing the food, packing food, and taking it in an auto. It costs about Rs 8,000 to 10,000 per day to prepare and serve meals to 200 people, and it costs about Rs 30 lakh to 35 lakh per year. He said that this programme has been continued for the last five years without collecting or accepting any donations from anyone, by the grace of God. Speaking on the occasion, Collector Nagarani said that Annadanam is the greatest of all charities, and it is a great thing for a person to continuously carry out such a great work for the last five years. Looking at the service programme organised by Rambabu, he reminds us of the P-4 programme launched by the Chief Minister. On the occasion, she called upon charitable individuals to come forward to register as P4 mentors as per the call of the Chief Minister. Veeravasaram Tahsildar Ramanjaneyulu, MPP Veeravalli Durga Bhavani, Rambabu's wife Varalakshmi, daughter Govardhini, father Srirama Murthy, and others were present on this occasion.

What Is The Gen Z Stare? The Viral Blank Look That's Confusing Everyone
Gen Z Stare could be described as a blank or empty look that many young people often show when asked a question. Gen Z stare is becoming very popular on social media. It could be described as a blank or empty look that many young people often show when asked a question. This expression happens everywhere, at school, restaurants, work and other places, which leaves older people confused or annoyed. You might wonder what exactly the Gen Z stare is and why so many people are talking about it. In this article, we will explain what this looks means and why it has caught so much attention online. It's not clear where or how the Gen Z stare trend began, but it has quickly caught people's attention and sparked a lot of discussion online. Every generation has habits, but there might be some clear reasons behind the blank stare. Two big reasons are the internet and the pandemic. When people mostly talk or connect through phones or screens, it can affect their real life behaviour. Gen Z is the first generation to grow up fully using apps such as TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. That might be the reason why they sometimes look unbothered during face to face talks. Jessica Maddox, a professor at the University of Alabama told NBC News, 'When I first started hearing talk about the Gen Z stare, and people were kind of explaining what it is, I was like, 'Oh, my God, this is what happens to me as a college professor'. This [look] very much accelerated after we returned to campus after Covid protocols." During the pandemic, people had to stay apart and follow social distancing rules, which made face to face interactions rare. Many schools were taking online classes, so students got used to staying home and learning through screens instead of meeting others in person. Jess Rauchberg, an assistant professor of communication technologies at Seton Hall University, added, 'I think we are starting to really see the long term effects of constant digital media use, right? We think of the phone as an appendage to our bodies. If it's a processing thing, it's hard to imagine someone wouldn't know how to nod or respond with a smile or just say 'OK,' but we may take for granted some of the social skills we have developed over the years because we didn't have technology to deal with and we didn't have to be isolated from our peers." Whether it's a real way of showing their emotions or just a passing trend, the Gen Z stare has definitely made people on social media talk. It has also started a bigger conversation about how different generations communicate. view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 17:47 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
