AP Jagananna Thodu Scheme Latest Update
Andhra govt. deposits Rs. 370 crore to 3.7 lakh small traders under Jagananna Thodu scheme. Any eligible person who is not covered can apply through volunteers for benefit. Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on 8 June 2021, deposited Rs. 370 crore to 3.7 lakh small traders towards interest-free loans under the Jagananna Thodu scheme.
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan mentioned that the small and petty vendors, artisans need not approach private parties for loans and burden their lives by paying heavy interest, as they can take loans from banks under Jagananna Thodu scheme to cater to their working capital.
Identification of Beneficiaries & Disbursement of Thodu Scheme Amount
Although 9.05 lakh beneficiaries were identified from the Jagananna Thodu Scheme in the phase-1, only Rs. 535 crore was disbursed by the banks. These 535 crore were given to 5.35 lakh beneficiaries, despite the government offering to pay the interest. As these vendors come under the unorganised sector, the banks do not provide loans and they end up approaching private parties for loans at high interest rates to run their businesses, and often fall into debts.
To resolve this problem, the AP state government has decided to extend financial assistance to remaining 3.7 lakh beneficiaries. The extension in financial assistance is done through Sthreenidhi Credit Cooperative federation and APCOB covering all the eligible beneficiaries by sanctioning loans in rural and urban areas. CM further added that Rs. 49.77 crore is being borne by the AP state government under the scheme towards paying interest. If beneficiaries repay the loan on time, the government will reimburse the interest directly to the beneficiaries accounts. Moreover, such beneficiaries would become eligible to take the next loan.
Apply for Jagananna Thodu through Volunteers / Toll Free No
Vegetable vendors, fruit vendors, small shopkeepers, pushcart vendors and traditional artisans like those who are involved in making handicrafts, brass items, kalamkari, puppetry and others are eligible to apply for the scheme. If any eligible person is not covered, they can still apply through volunteers. After applying, verification of Jagananna Thodu beneficiaries would be done.
Upon subsequent verification, Jagananna Thodu Scheme beneficiaries will be provided with the scheme benefits in a month or two. Also, people can call on the 1902 toll-free number to get themselves enrolled. Though the Rs. 10,000 loan looks a small amount, it would be a major relief for small and petty vendors.
