Andhra Pradesh Govt Provides ₹15,000 Per Student Through 'Talliki Vandanam' Scheme

The Andhra Pradesh government has started implementing the 'Talliki Vandanam' scheme, which involves transferring ₹15,000 annually for every school-going child in a household. The funds will be sent directly to the mother or guardian of the student. The disbursal process began on June 12, 2025 and is expected to be completed by July 5.

Who Is Covered

The scheme applies to all students from Class I to Intermediate, across government, private aided, and private unaided schools and junior colleges. It covers every eligible child in a household, regardless of the number of children. New enrollments in Class I and junior Intermediate will also be included.

Number of Beneficiaries

According to government estimates, the scheme will benefit approximately 67 lakh students and 43 lakh mothers or guardians. The government has issued official guidelines for implementation, and transfers will be handled through direct benefit transfers (DBT) to the mother’s bank account.

Allocation Breakdown

While ₹15,000 is the total amount announced per child, ₹2,000 will be deducted at source. This portion will be allocated towards improving the overall school environment, including maintenance, sanitation, and hygiene. The remaining ₹13,000 will be received by the mother or guardian.

Administrative Details

The scheme was announced by the newly elected Government and is part of its ‘Super Six’ set of welfare promises. The implementation guidelines were issued by Kona Sasidhar, Secretary to the Government. The objective is to route educational assistance through mothers, with the scheme spanning all types of recognised schools and junior colleges in the state.

Conclusion

The 'Talliki Vandanam' scheme is now operational, with the first phase of payments underway. It aims to support households with school-going children through annual financial transfers while setting aside a portion for school-level development activities.
