Additionally, the government has spent Rs 65,000 crore to ensure access to education for all underprivileged children.”
Castigating the Opposition for peddling false narrative, the Minister said, “While CM Jagan has been working diligently for securing a brighter future for the children, opposition TDP and Yellow Media are spitting venom undermining the government’s efforts.”
Commending CM Jagan for his efforts to reform the education sector, Home Minister Taneti Vanita expressed, “CM Jagan’s introduction of the Amma Vodi scheme has effectively addressed school dropouts.

This makes Andhra Pradesh the first state in the country to implement such a large-scale welfare initiative.”
Hailing CM Jagan for prioritising human development alongside poverty alleviation, Jagan Mohan Rao stated, “The transformative changes in the education and health sectors, initiated by CM Jagan’s government, along with the provision of permanent houses for all homeless individuals, have significantly reduced poverty and enhanced the living standards of the poor over the last four-and-a-half years.”
