The Chief Minister spoke about his government’s P4 (Public-Private-People Partnership) model, aimed at eradicating poverty through collaborative efforts between the government, private sector, and citizens. He said the initiative focuses on wealth creation and redirecting resources toward the welfare of the poor.
Calling the P4 scheme a “game changer,” Naidu said that one lakh mentors have already been engaged and benefits nearly 10 lakh people. He also spoke about the importance of gender equality and women’s empowerment as pillars of social development.
Naidu reflected on his earlier reform initiatives, including Vision 2020, and said that the long-term impact of such policies can be seen in the development of cities like Hyderabad.
