This time, due to the ongoing Wuhan virus, also known as the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the distribution would be done door to door. The village secretariats started going to beneficiaries’ homes and distributing the pension.

The arrangements of the same were made under the supervision of Mr. Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy, the Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Minister of A.P. On the 30th of September, he addressed the media and said, “Government had made all the arrangements as part of CM Jagan’s’ intention to provide pensions directly to the beneficiaries at their homes from the morning of October 1.”

The YSRCP Government released an amount of Rs. 1,420.48 crores for the YSR Pension Kanuka scheme.

Mr. Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy said, “We are implementing biometric and iris policies for the identification of beneficiaries, as well as the RBIS system.”

According to sources, the State Government is likely to complete a 100 % pension distribution within three days. Village/ward secretariats have been given responsibility to distribute the money to every beneficiary. The pensions will be disbursed directly to the beneficiaries through 2.52 lakh volunteers across the State.
