Andhra Pradesh drive: Govt schemes for tribals; health, housing, pensions explained
NUZVID: Mandal Parishad Development Officer (MPDO) Chenna Raghavendranath said that people should avail themselves of all the govt schemes and programmes.
He mentioned that state and central govts were implementing several welfare programmes, particularly for the upliftment of the tribals and socially backward classes.
A village-level awareness programme was held as part of the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN) at Ongili Thanda on Wednesday. Speaking on the occasion, Raghavendranath stated that the objective of this programme was to raise awareness about govt welfare schemes in tribal areas and deliver necessary services directly to the people.
'Services such as health checkups, education opportunities, healthcare, nutrition support, pension eligibility verifications, and information on newly introduced govt schemes will be provided by the govt.
This programme is especially focused on the welfare of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) through the involvement of various departments,' said Raghavendranath.
He mentioned that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, chief minister Chandrababu Naidu, deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan, and housing minister Parthasaradhi were very keen on ensuring that the administration reached out to the PVTGs to extend the benefits of the govt schemes.

He explained that Dharti Aaba Abhiyan is a special national campaign launched by the Centre for the holistic development of tribal villages. It is named in honour of Birsa Munda, a revered tribal freedom fighter and reformer. 'The scheme ensures saturation of govt schemes in tribal villages.
It will improve access to healthcare, education, employment, pensions, housing, and other essential services. It will also bring remote and backward tribal areas into the path of sustainable development,' said Raghavendranath.
He stated that they would verify whether the schemes, including PM Awas Yojana for housing, Ayushman Bharat, PM Kisan, Ujjwala Yojana, and MGNREGA, were extended to all the eligible people. A large number of villagers actively participated and availed themselves of services and guidance.
Local public representatives, teachers, ASHA workers, anganwadi workers, village elders, women's group members, students, and youth took part enthusiastically in the event. Officials from health, panchayat raj, education, agriculture, irrigation, and other departments delivered services and interacted with the public.
Field-level reviews were also conducted to assess the implementation of welfare programmes in the tribal village, and suitable suggestions were offered.
