YSR Adarsham Scheme Provides Jobs To Unemployed Youth In AP: Check Details

The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, introduced the YSR Adarsham Scheme in October 2019 to provide self-employment opportunities to the youth in the transport sector.

As per the scheme, the government plans to distribute trucks where applicants will acquire bank loans to purchase good-carrying trucks.

Listed banks will play an important role in the implementation of this scheme as these financial institutions will scrutinize and clear applications.

State-run corporations will hire these trucks; each beneficiary of the scheme can earn Rs 20,000 per month. The government has announced that after implementation of the scheme, around 6,000 trucks will be distributed to eligible youth and they will carry sand, food, beverages, and other perishable and non-perishable commodities.

Eligibility Criteria

The scheme is only available for youngsters not associated with any job or business to ensure that it provides a steady source of income for them.

 This scheme is open for candidates from Below Poverty Line (BPL) groups, tribal people from the ST, SC and OBC categories, members who come under the Kapu Corporation and minority communities.

Documents required for application

Once the applicants get loan approval from the bank, they need to pay the State Goods and Service Tax for the truck and during the application process, the payment slip that is issued by the state GST department must be submitted for scrutiny.

All applicants must furnish bank account details and documents as the monetary assistance that the state government will offer via banks will be deposited in the beneficiary's bank account.

Benefits of YSR Adarsham Scheme

 Due to lack of proper transportation, the price of commodities goes up because of a reduced supply. This scheme will boost the supply of commodities in the market, thereby bringing down prices. After a period of 5 years, when the loan is repaid, the YSR Adarsham Scheme beneficiary will become the owner of the vehicle without any encumbrances.

This committee will also handle the terms and conditions for Vehicle OEMs and identification of OEMs through a reverse-tendering process and it will ensure minimum payment of GST in transportation.

The responsibility of the district-level will be to assess the transport requirements of the region. It will ensure coordination with banks for loans, support agencies in the procurement of vehicles, identify Adarsham Scheme beneficiaries, and make timely payments. The members of the district level-committee will also monitor the performance of beneficiaries and support welfare corporations in signing agreements with OEMs and banks.
