The Andhra Pradesh government has introduced the “Vahan Mitra” scheme to offer financial support to auto and cab drivers. The scheme, which was announced earlier, will provide a one-time financial aid of ₹15,000 to eligible drivers. As per the guidelines, interested drivers can apply for this assistance starting today.
Eligible drivers must submit their applications through a specially released form available at their local village or ward secretariats. The last date to submit applications is set for September 19. All necessary details must be filled in the form to ensure the smooth processing of the request.
Once the selection process is completed, the government plans to directly transfer the ₹15,000 assistance to the bank accounts of the approved drivers. The funds will be deposited into the selected drivers’ accounts on October 1. This initiative is aimed at providing relief to the drivers who have been significantly impacted by the ongoing economic challenges.
This scheme is a part of the state government’s broader effort to support various communities and provide financial aid to those in need. The implementation of this scheme is expected to benefit thousands of drivers across the state.
