The scheme, named after the legendary Telugu actor and former Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao, has seen a significant hike in pensions, providing a much-needed boost to the lives of pensioners.

Here’s the breakdown of the new pensions:

• Old age pensions: Increased from ₹1,000 to ₹2,000 per month.

This initiative is a testament to the state government’s commitment to the well-being of its senior citizens and other vulnerable groups.

The NTR Bharosa scheme has been praised by many for its impact on the lives of pensioners. For example, 75-year-old Lakshmi Devi, a widow from Visakhapatnam, said:

“This pension hike has brought a sense of security and stability to my life. Now I can afford basic necessities and even some small luxuries. This is a huge relief, and I’m thankful to the government for this initiative.”

This increase in pension benefits is not just a financial boost but also a symbol of the state government’s commitment to social welfare and economic empowerment.
