YSRCP sceptical about success of A.P. govt.'s ‘P4' programme
The much-touted Public Private People Partnership (P4) programme taken up by the State government is bound to fail, predicted the YSR Congress state spokesperson and former MLA Bhumana Karunakar Reddy. While adoption of poor people is a voluntary action coming out of noble intent, it can't be thrusted on government employees and officers, as is being done by the incumbent government, he explained. Addressing a media conference here on Tuesday (July 29, 2025) along with the city Mayor B.R. Sireesha Yadav, Mr. Reddy derided the scheme as the Chandrababu Naidu government's vain attempt to match up to the welfare schemes launched by the previous government. 'The kind-hearted Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy spent lakhs of crores of rupees from the state exchequer to eradicate poverty in the state. On the contrary, the present Chief Minister is trying to force the rich to adopt the poor, by showing the empty coffers', he ridiculed. Calling P4 as a 'futile attempt' to get the rich to adopt the poor, he explained the rationale behind the concept. 'For two centuries, we have seen the history of the oppressors always going against the oppressed. In the same vein, the super-rich will never be interested in bailing the poor out of their financial debt trap and as such, any such attempt is bound to fail', he said.

Teachers freed from P4 linked pressure
There is a growing resentment among teacher unions in the state against what they call 'pressure being mounted on them to register as 'mentors' or 'guides' under the 'P4' (Public-Private-People-Participation) initiative.' In view of this, Secretary, School Education, Kona Sashidhar has issued a circular strictly instructing district Collectors not to involve principals, headmasters or teachers of government schools and colleges in any activity not related to the School Education Department. Mr. Sasidhar pointed out that it was brought to the notice of the government that Collectors and certain departments in a few districts were asking principals, headmasters and teachers of government schools and colleges to upload data related to their departments without the notice of the School Education Department. He said this was causing a hindrance to the regular academic activities in the respective institutions and asked the district officials to desist from involving teachers. Leaders of the Andhra Pradesh Teachers Federation (APTF), meanwhile, have welcomed the move stating that this would end the prevailing confusion among teachers. It may be noted that in the wake of the launch of P4 initiative and the government urging all departments to become part of the poverty-eradication drive, a few District Education Officers (DEOs), after receiving instructions by the Collectors, sent links to headmasters and teachers asking them to register as 'mentors' and adopt families under the initiative within a stipulated deadline. The move drew flak from teacher unions which insisted that pressure to adopt families was unacceptable and that the 'p4' programme should be implemented on voluntary basis.
