The Government of Andhra Pradesh is set to launch the 'Zero Poverty – P4 Policy' initiative on Ugadi (March 30, 2025) as part of its ambitious Swarna Andhra-2047 vision. This poverty eradication program aims to eliminate poverty in the state by 2047 through a unique Public, Private, People Partnership (P4) model. The initiative focuses on empowering underprivileged families, referred to as ‘Bangaru Kutumbam,’ with housing, sanitation, water, energy, and entrepreneurship opportunities. The policy encourages contributions from well-off families (Margadarsis) to support these families, promoting sustainable socio-economic development.
