Thalliki Vandanam

Thalliki Vandanam is an initiative aimed at supporting students in Andhra Pradesh by providing financial assistance through a Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. The program allocates a total of ₹15,000 to eligible students from Class 1 to 12, with a net amount of ₹13,000 being credited after a deduction for school infrastructure development. The scheme's aim is to ease the educational burden on families, especially those with limited income, as eligibility hinges on monthly earnings—below ₹10,000 for rural families and ₹12,000 for urban families.

The Thalliki Vandanam portal offers users the ability to check their payment status online using their Aadhaar number, along with a verification process that includes OTP confirmation. Students can quickly verify their eligibility, view beneficiary lists, and access updates on payment details. The program also promotes regular school attendance and supports both private and government school students, ensuring that financial assistance reaches those who need it most.
