Dare to dream, strive to achieve: TDP chief

It will provide assistance to women who choose to pursue higher education, skill development, and capacity-building programs. The TDP chief stated, "I have always said, dare to dream and strive for success. Recognizing women's power, we are launching a new initiative today."

Furthermore, he stated that the TDP was the first to provide 33% reservations in educational institutions and employment possibilities for women in the country. Recalling that there were just 20 to 30 colleges back then, Naidu stated that he founded an engineering college in each revenue division. He noted that the youth attended those colleges and were successful in getting jobs.

He went on to say, "Twenty years ago, some individuals didn't believe that studying information technology would lead to opportunities. TDP anticipated opportunities. To provide jobs, we first built Hitech City. We began backward and forward integration in order to provide jobs for young people studying information technology. I traveled to the United States for 14 days and spoke with representatives from multinational corporations, demonstrating to the world the strength of the kids here. With this, they agreed to form firms."

Expanding on the schemes declared in the first section of the manifesto, he stated, "Under Thallaki Vandhanam, the future administration will provide Rs 15,000 to every school-going child every year. Every year, we will supply three free petrol cylinders under the Deepam initiative. Women will be permitted to travel free on RTC buses. Every month, women aged 18 to 59 will receive Rs 1,500."

Furthermore, he added that a plan is being developed to give purified water to every home via taps.
