A Siddardha Reddy

Marshmallow

YSR Congress party (YSRCP) Chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy came up with an elaborate model of governance comprising welfare schemes based on the party’s Navaratnalu. As the name suggests, through nine large-scale welfare programs which will percolate to the grassroots, the party plans to offer benefits worth a minimum of Rs 1 lakh to Rs 5 lakh per year.

Here are the nine Navaratna welfare schemes:

1. YSR Rythu Bharosa

The YSRCP promises to offer financial assistance of Rs 50,000 to farmers. In the second year, each farmer’s family would be given Rs 12,500 per year, in addition to zero-interest loans and free bore-wells. A calamity relief fund of Rs 4,000 crore, 9 hours free electricity during the day, cold storage units and food processing centres in every constituency are among a list of benefits promised to farmers.

2. Fee Reimbursement

The party, if elected to power, plans to provide a comprehensive fee reimbursement scheme, in line with late Chief Minister Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy’s vision. In addition to complete fee reimbursement, an allowance of Rs 20,000 would be given to every student. A total of Rs 1 to 1.5 lakh would be spend on each student’s education.

3. Arogyasri

The Arogyasri scheme would be applicable to all medical treatments of above Rs 1,000. Regardless of the location of the hospital, all medical expenses would be borne by the government.

4. Jalayagnam

Under this scheme, lakhs of families would be benefited by irrigation projects. Completion of Polavaram project on a war footing is one of the priorities under Jalayagnam.
