Jagananna Chedodu Scheme is a state-funded aid scheme for tailors, washermen, and barbers in the state who have lost their jobs owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. The funds will be deposited straight into each beneficiary’s bank account. Surveys will be used to identify and shortlist the beneficiaries.
Benefits
The system has numerous advantages, one of which is the availability of funding for persons who own small businesses as well as those with low incomes. Tailors, laundrymen, and hairdressers are among the three sectors that will receive incentives under the system. The incentive will subsequently be utilised by the beneficiaries to carry out daily routines or to send their children to school, as many of them cannot afford their children’s education.
Budget
YSR Jagan Mohan Reddy, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh State, launched the Chedodu plan on Wednesday, June 10, 2020, by sending Rs. 10000/- to each beneficiary’s account.

The funds will be transferred to the bank accounts of 82,347 Rajakas, 38,767 Nayee Brahmins, and 1.25 lakh tailors under this scheme. Not only that, but the government has chosen to extend the benefits of this scheme to barbers who operate a store.
