‘Thalliki Vandanam' Scheme: How To Get Rs 15,000 Aid – Step-by-Step Guide For Mothers
Last Updated: Thalliki Vandanam Scheme: Andhra government will deposit Rs 15,000 directly into the accounts of students' mothers. Certain key conditions must be fulfilled to receive this benefit The Andhra Pradesh government has announced a key update on the 'Thalliki Vandanam' scheme. As part of the newly formed coalition government's 'Super Six' promises made during the elections, the scheme is set to be implemented this June. With schools reopening on June 12 after the summer break, the government is taking steps to ensure financial assistance reaches the mothers of school-going children on time. Under the 'Thalliki Vandanam' scheme, the state government will deposit Rs 15,000 directly into the bank accounts of students' mothers. The amount is intended as a token of respect for the efforts and dedication of mothers towards their children's education. However, to receive this benefit, certain important conditions must be fulfilled. To be eligible for the payment, the mother's bank account must be linked to both: Her Aadhaar number, and The NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India) system. Officials have clearly stated that if either of these linkages is missing, the payment will not be processed. According to recent government orders, the Aadhaar and NPCI linking process must be completed by June 5. To facilitate this, postal department staff, village/ward secretariats, and bank officials will assist beneficiaries in completing the necessary procedures. Authorities have urged all eligible mothers to check whether their bank accounts are linked with Aadhaar and NPCI. If not, the linking must be completed urgently through the nearest Mee Seva centre, post office, or bank branch. NPCI linking is essential for enabling direct benefit transfers (DBT) under government schemes. Without it, even if the money is released, it won't be credited to the beneficiary's account. To avoid inconvenience, the government has directed all departments to provide special support. Linking centres are also being set up in rural areas to make the process easier for beneficiaries. The government emphasises that this is not just a financial aid programme, but a gesture to recognise and honour the pivotal role played by mothers. It also marks the beginning of fulfilling the 'Super Six' promises, aimed at increasing public trust and welfare. First Published: June 02, 2025, 10:55 IST

Thalliki Vandanam Scheme 2025: Mothers Of These Students Won't Get The Rs 15,000 Per Child Aid
Currently, about 81 lakh students are studying in the state. Of these, the government has calculated that only 69.16 lakh students are eligible for the scheme The Chandrababu Naidu government plans to implement the Thalliki Vandanam (Salute To Mother) scheme in Andhra Pradesh as outlined in the TDP-NDA 2024 election manifesto. This scheme aims to provide Rs 15,000 directly into mothers' accounts to cover the educational expenses of school-going students. Under the Thalliki Vandanam Scheme, financial assistance of Rs 15,000 will be provided for each child in a family. If there are two children, Rs 30,000 will be given; if there are three, up to Rs 45,000 will be directly deposited into the mothers' bank accounts. This will support children's education expenses and reduce the financial burden on mothers. A key feature of the scheme is that funds will be sent directly to mothers' bank accounts without intermediaries. The Chandrababu Naidu-led Andhra government has allocated Rs 9,407 crore in the 2025–26 budget for the successful implementation of the scheme. Currently, about 81 lakh students are studying in the state. Of these, the government has calculated that only 69.16 lakh students are eligible for the scheme, with the remaining students likely losing eligibility due to attendance or other conditions. As per government rules, students must have at least 75% attendance, which will be verified through the schools' regular attendance records. Students failing to meet this requirement will not be eligible for the scheme. This aims to increase awareness among students and parents about the importance of school attendance. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, while participating in the Srikakulam District Fisheries Assurance Programme, made important remarks regarding the implementation of the scheme. He revealed that the government is discussing whether to provide the entire Rs 15,000 at once or in two instalments of Rs 7,500 each. It is expected that giving the total amount in one instalment will provide greater immediate financial relief to mothers. However, officials suggest that disbursing the amount in instalments could encourage greater parental involvement throughout the academic year. After the start of the new academic year, and once student attendance registration is completed, the list of eligible students will be finalised. Following this, the government will deposit the funds directly into the mothers' accounts. The main objective of the scheme is to remove financial barriers to education and to provide financial encouragement to mothers. There are, however, some challenges in the scheme's implementation. In particular, the government must proactively address issues such as accurately recording student attendance and improving the efficiency of school administrations. Transparency and efficiency will play a crucial role in identifying and supporting the large number of beneficiaries.
