Jagan LaunchesYSR Nethanna Nestham’ At Dharmavaram

Anantapur (Maxim News): Chief Minister YS Jagan Moh Reddy launched YSR Nethanna Nestham scheme at Dharmavaram in Anantapur district 21 on the occasion of his birthday.

Speaking on the occasion, Jagan said he has seen the problems of the handloom weavers during his padayatra. He said with the implementation of this scheme, some 85,000 weavers will be given Rs 24,000 annually under the scheme, which is an offshoot of his 3,648 km walkathon — Praja Sankalpa Yatra, during which he had interacted with various sections of people. He also assured that the AP government has already instructed the bank officers not to collect the deposited amount into the handloom weavers account if they have any debts.

Taking a dig at TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu, Jagan said previous TDP government had totally ignored about the problems of Dharmavaram handloom workers, even though they are committing suicides. He said every handloom family would be given Rs 1.20 lakh. He even reminded that a total of 57 weavers committed suicide in Anantapur district during the tenure of Chandrababu Naidu. Jagan said over 25 lakh poor people will be given houses by the next Ugadi festival.

Besides, from January 9, the State government would sanction money under Amma Vodi scheme, which will provide Rs 15,000 financial aid to the families for sending their students to the government schools, the Chief Minister said. He also said his government was providing Rs 10,000 financial assistance to auto, taxi and maxi driver/owners per year under YSR Vahana Mitra scheme for maintenance expenses, for obtaining insurance and fitness certificates among other documents, said Jagan.
