The Andhra Pradesh government has implemented its flagship Thalliki Vandanam scheme, introducing a major direct benefit transfer of ₹13,000 per student into the bank accounts of mothers—targeting all eligible students enrolled from Class I through XII. While the majority of beneficiaries have received the amount without issue, parents of SC/ST students have reported delays in the payouts. Officials have acknowledged that the remaining aid for SC/ST families is still pending, attributing the delay to ongoing administrative verifications.
Importantly, the government has issued a clear directive: all pending payments will be disbursed within 20 days. This means the affected SC/ST mothers can expect the full Thalliki Vandanam amount in their accounts imminently. This step reaffirms the state’s commitment to inclusive welfare and ensuring timely financial assistance to underprivileged communities. The scheme’s aim is to boost school enrolment, reduce dropout rates, and empower mothers financially across Andhra Pradesh. The prompt resolution of this delay is expected to uphold trust in the scheme and support educational continuity for SC/ST children.
