Hyderabad: AP CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has released third tranche funds of the 'Jagananna Thodu' scheme on Monday at CM's camp office in Thadepalli in Andhra Pradesh.

On November 25, 2020, the government launched the 'Jagannanna Thodu' scheme to support small traders.

Under this scheme an interest-free loan of Rs 10,000 is provided to the beneficiars.
Speaking on this occasion, the Chief Minister stated that the initiative aims to help small and petty vendors and artisans from the unorganised sector by giving working capital and financial assistance to help them grow their business.
The Chief Minister described small-scale vendors as "essential service providers," saying that the government is relieving them of high interest payments by facilitating bank loans, and that upon timely repayment, all interest will be reimbursed directly to the beneficiaries' accounts, and they will be eligible to take the next loan.
"If you are eligible for the Jagananna Thodu scheme but have not received a loan, you should contact the village secretariats"said CM Jagan.
