He emphasized the need to accelerate the registration of Margadarsis, and the adoption process of Below Poverty Line (BPL) families.

Describing P4 as a continuation of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model introduced after the economic reforms, the Chief Minister conducted a review of the zero poverty initiative at his Undavalli camp office on Wednesday.

He directed that the Smart Andhra Pradesh Foundation be restructured as Swarna Andhra P4 Foundation.

Naidu highlighted Amaravati's land pooling model as a case study for the P4 approach, noting that wealth creation was enabled for 29,000 farmers by making them partners in the capital development.
