P-4 Model to be Implemented in Andhra Pradesh from Ugadi: CS K. Vijay Anand
The Andhra Pradesh government is set to implement the P-4 (Public-Private-People Partnerships) model from Ugadi, Chief Secretary K. Vijay Anand announced. He reviewed the implementation of the model with state officials and district collectors, who joined the meeting virtually, at the state secretariat on Thursday.
During the meeting, K. Vijay Anand stated that the primary objective of the P-4 model is poverty eradication. He emphasized that the initiative aims to encourage the economically well-off top 10% of society to support the bottom 20% who are in extreme poverty.
To ensure comprehensive planning, public suggestions and feedback will be collected, and a dedicated online portal is being developed for this purpose. The Chief Secretary stated that the implementation of the P-4 model will be guided by these inputs. He also mentioned that the government will invite industrialists, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), and others willing to support the initiative to the P-4 launch event on Ugadi. The aim is to bring all stakeholders under one platform to facilitate its effective execution.
As part of the Swarnandhra Vision-2047, the state aims to achieve an annual growth rate of 15%. To achieve this, vision plans must be prepared at the habitation, village, mandal, constituency, and district levels. K. Vijay Anand directed district collectors to appoint a nodal officer for each constituency, who will be assisted by a six-member team—five members from village and ward secretariats and one professional from the planning department.
A special questionnaire will be used to collect necessary data, with a consultancy survey scheduled to take place from February 7 to February 22.
At the meeting, Piyush Kumar, Principal Secretary of the Planning and Finance Departments, gave a PowerPoint presentation detailing the implementation of the P-4 model and its integration into the Swarnandhra Vision-2047 framework. Dr. N. Yuvaraj, Secretary of Industries and Commerce, also presented an overview of the steps required for conducting an MSME survey.
