CBN To Launch Auto Drivers’ Service Scheme On Oct 4

The Andhra Pradesh cabinet met today and cleared several key decisions, including land allotments to companies, land acquisitions, and approval of a special purpose vehicle to speed up development works in the state capital Amaravati.

Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu also confirmed the launch of the Auto Drivers’ Service Scheme, a pre-poll promise. The scheme will be rolled out on October 4, with each beneficiary auto driver set to receive Rs 15,000 directly in their accounts.

The government has allocated Rs 435.35 crore for this programme. With both private and public transport expanding, auto drivers have struggled to find stable income, and the scheme aims to provide them with much-needed financial support.

A total of 2.9 lakh auto drivers have been identified as beneficiaries. Each driver will get Rs 15,000 annually. The Chief Minister said the initiative will particularly help those impacted by the Stree Shakti free bus scheme.
