AP govt launches ‘Talliki Vandanam’ scheme, Rs 15,000 to be given for school-going child

The TDP-led NDA government in Andhra Pradesh has launched ‘Talliki Vandanam’ scheme where Rs 15,000 will be given annually to every school-going child in a household, a top official said on Friday.

‘Talliki Vandanam’ is one of the ‘Super Six’ set of welfare promises made by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu in the run-up to the 2024 polls. “The government has issued guidelines for the implementation of



the ‘Talliki Vandanam’ scheme, a key initiative designed to empower mothers/guardians across the state, by extending financial assistance of Rs 15,000 per annum per child to every eligible mother/guardian,” said Kona Sasidhar, secretary to government in an order.

Irrespective of the number of children in a household who attend school from class I to intermediate, the scheme will be extended to all eligible households.
