In February 2019, the state of Andhra Pradesh witnessed a significant leap towards youth empowerment with the launch of the “Mukhyamantri Yuva Nestham Scheme” by the then Chief Minister, Chandrababu Naidu, and his TDP Leaders. Aimed at addressing the challenges of unemployment, this initiative became a pivotal aspect of the TDP government’s efforts to uplift the youth by providing skill development, self-employment opportunities, and a monthly unemployment dole of Rs 1000. The core objectives of the Yuva Nestham scheme were multifaceted, ranging from skill development to self-employment opportunities and apprenticeships across various industries. The announcement came as a beacon of hope for over 10 lakh unemployed youth in the state, signaling a commitment to not only provide financial assistance but also to foster avenues for personal and professional growth.
Former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, during the launch, emphasized the scheme’s role as a platform for youth to shape their futures. The creation of the web portal www.yuvanestham.ap.gov.in further streamlined the process, making information easily accessible to the youth of Andhra Pradesh. The former Chief Minister, along with top TDP leaders, interacted with students, highlighting that the unemployment dole was not merely a gesture of atonement but a comprehensive scheme designed in collaboration with various government departments. The Mukhyamantri Yuva Nestham Scheme is aimed at financially supporting families facing economic hardships. By providing a monthly dole of Rs 1000 directly transferred to the beneficiaries’ bank accounts, the scheme offered a crucial lifeline to the unemployed youth, encouraging self-reliance and livelihood opportunities.
N Chandrababu Naidu stressed the importance of the scheme going beyond financial assistance. He urged the youth to explore new employment avenues, emphasizing the need for a proactive approach to securing a bright career. The scheme sought to empower youth aged 20 to 30, bringing them under a single platform for collective growth. Recognizing the success of Andhra Pradesh’s youth in the IT sector, Chandrababu Naidu highlighted the significance of proficiency in English and Mathematics. He called for universities to create a comprehensive data bank of graduates and post-graduates, emphasizing the importance of education and placement in tandem.
The Mukhyamantri Yuva Nestham Scheme emerged as one of the greatest achievements of the TDP government in Andhra Pradesh, contributing significantly to the welfare of the state’s youth. By addressing unemployment, promoting skill development, and encouraging innovation, the scheme reflects a holistic approach to youth empowerment. As a beacon of progress, it not only provided financial aid but also paved the way for a brighter and more sustainable future for the youth of Andhra Pradesh.
