AP raised with welfare schemes to hit the unemployment

Amaravathi, March 10: Here is the good news for Andhra Pradesh youth, who were eagerly waiting for an employment.The state government has decided to raise the welfare schemes for the youth with focus on employment in its budget to be announced on March 13. Measures will be taken to turn Andhra Pradesh into a drought-free state by increasing allocations for irrigation projects. Besides, more funds will be allotted for capital construction.While speculation is rife that 2017-18 budget outlay will touch 1.5 lakh crore, finance minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu stated that it will be higher than last year s 1.35 lakh crore. Ramakrishnudu, who will be presenting his ninth budget and the maiden one from the newly-constructed assembly in Amaravati, in an interaction with media persons on Thursday, said the budget session will focus on youth policy as unemployment doles and creation of jobs were the pre-poll promises of the TDP."The first two budgets focussed on welfare and development. The third one to be presented during the ongoing session welfare of youth will be given priority," he said. Clarifying that no scheme has been finalized as yet over the allowance for unemployed youth, he said a study is being conducted on the issue. "A few countries across the world and a few states in India are already rolling out such a scheme.We are studying them and will adopt the best practices," told media.Giving an example, he observed that Brazil is rolling out a similar scheme with a few conditions.
