YSR Kapu Nestham Scheme for Financial Assistance to Women
In the female population, elderly women have
to face financial problems as many of them are unable to earn a living easily.
The YSR Kapu Nestham Scheme was launched specifically for the purpose of
offering financial assistance to women. The Kapu community members were each
given a sum of Rs. 15,000 every annum. These women members were 45 to 60 years
in age. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Chief
Minister of Andhra Pradesh, had shared that the approximate sum transferred was
Rs. 354 crores. At least 2.36 lakh beneficiaries were covered.
Fulfilling Promises to Offer Financial Aid to Women
Moving a step further to financially help the
women of the Kapu community, they were provided with a decent unencumbered
amount in their accounts. It was expected that in a period of five years, women
falling in the age group of 45-60 would receive at least Rs. 75,000.
The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh had said
that those who were eligible for receiving the amount would be benefitted
within the duration of a month. In the coming month, on the same day, the sum
will be provided to them. The benefits were given to lakhs of women in the last
thirteen months.
Along with Kapu Nestham, schemes such as
Vahana Mitra, Amma Vodi, Videsi Vidya, Vidya Deevena, and Vasati Deevena were
also included. Jagan Mohan Reddy
expressed that in case any beneficiaries were eligible but were not provided
with the benefits of the initiative, the details for them could be received
from the village secretariats. Thus, fresh applications could be registered.
As compared to the government that was
previously functioning, the government led by Jagan Mohan Reddy has made and fulfilled promises. Believing in
truly helping the women, this government has set another inspirational example.
In Conclusion
The Andhra Pradesh government had taken many
initiatives to offer financial aid to women to help them avoid difficulties.
The YSR Kapu Nestham Scheme had helped lakhs of women and will continue to do
the same. We believe that more such initiatives will be implemented by the
government in the future.
