One of the TDP-led NDA government's Super Six pledges, the free travel program for women in RTC buses, will go into effect on August 15. 


Speaking at a public gathering in Kurnool district's Panyam Assembly constituency on Saturday, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu declared that the free RTC bus travel program for women would begin on August 15, Independence Day.


It's a people's government here. We are drawing significant investments to the state while guaranteeing the well-being of the impoverished and oppressed. 4.51 lakh people would be employed by the 76 projects we have already brought in, totaling Rs 4.96 lakh crore, he stated.


"We are offering social security pensions ranging from Rs 4,000 to Rs 15,000 to the eligible people, which is unparalleled in the country," Naidu remarked in reference to NDA welfare programs. We are feeding the underprivileged via Anna Canteens. We are providing three free LPG cylinders annually under Deepam 2.0. Mega DSC will be used to fill teacher positions. Under the Thalliki Vandanam plan, ladies with children enrolled in school would have Rs 15,000 paid to their bank accounts prior to the start of the new school year. 


When Naidu visited C-Camp Rythu Bazaar, he spoke with sanitation workers and farmers.


"Cleanliness is essential for everyone," he remarked, highlighting the Swachh Andhra and Swarna Andhra project, which takes place on the third Saturday of each month. We have to maintain the cleanliness of our homes and surrounds. Clean thinking is fostered by a clean environment. In today's world, a lot of people have health problems. Everybody needs to do yoga every day. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will travel to Visakhapatnam on June 21 in honor of International Yoga Day. From May 21 to June 21, we will have yoga classes throughout the state," he stated.


To emphasize the value of recycling, the CM told a tale about Gautama Buddha. A student requests a new robe from the Buddha in the story since his old one is ripped. He receives a fresh one from Buddha. When questioned later about what happened to the old robe, the disciple explains that he used it as a bedsheet, a curtain, and then a kitchen cleaning cloth. The disciple is commended by the Buddha for using it sensibly. We can learn from this story that nothing should be wasted. "Everything can be recycled or used again," he said.


"We want Andhra Pradesh to become an environmentally net-zero state. 8.5 million metric tons of trash were left in metropolitan areas by the previous administration. I have directed Narayana, the Minister of Municipal Administration and Urban Development, to remove all trash by October 2. 5.5 million tonnes of garbage have been cleared thus far," he said.
