Transparency thro' DBT

Visakhapatnam SUPPORTERS of Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy say during the two years he has changed the grammar of governance, delivered a social justice system, empowered weaker sections and women, even while weathering the stormy pandemic effectively besides steering YSRCP to a landslide in local body polls. Fulfilling majority of poll promises, Jagan stood by example and the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) has rooted out corruption and middlemen ushering in transparency into administration, they say. Nowhere in the country, are pensions being disbursed at the doorstep of the beneficiary before sunrise.

The overwhelming mandate in the panchayat and municipal elections and Tirupati bypoll endorsed the governance of Jagan. Farmers have been getting bounty sops from sowing to marketing, education getting the right syntax from Amma Vodi to Skill Development courses, medicare getting the pulse right with YSR Aarogyasri and welfare touching all sections of society.

A senior official said in the past two years, the State Government has directly credited Rs 93,708 crore in to the beneficiaries accounts with no role of middlemen and indirectly spent over Rs 31,714 crore on Sampoorna Poshana, free power to farmers, Goru Muddha and many more schemes, aggregating to Rs 1.25 lakh crores. The pensions and other welfare services are being door delivered to beneficiaries through Village and Ward Volunteers on the first of every month, rain or shine. AP is the first State to bring Corona treatment and black fungus under Dr. YSR Aarogyasri scheme. Testing, tracing and treatment are being carried out to cater to the growing number of cases. A total of 79, 08,945 people have been vaccinated so far under the State-wide vaccination drive in order of priority for building a corona-free society. The government has spent Rs 2,229 crore for Covid treatment in the past 14 months.

The government has embarked on major changes in the medical field with the intention of providing quality medical care to all the poor and middle class people without any difficulty. Soon after forming the government, Chief Minister laid a special focus on upgrading the Aarogyasri scheme, by making it available for all those families having up to Rs 5 lakh income, besides increasing the number of treatments to 2,434 and has made available to the public 1,180 state-of-the-art mobile clinics and ambulances in the 104 and 108 services at a cost of Rs 210 crore to provide emergency medical care to patients during emergencies.
