Minister for MSMEs and Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty (SERP) Kondapalli Srinivas on Monday launched the distribution of smartphones to Village Organisation Assistants (VOAs).
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Srinivas said the 5G-enabled devices were being provided to strengthen digital communication and enable VOAs to deliver services more efficiently.
He recalled that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu had initiated DWCRA groups three decades ago, which have since emerged as a shining example of women’s leadership.
The Minister appreciated SERP Chief Executive Officer V. Karuna and district-level officials for their dedicated efforts towards women’s empowerment.
He assured the VOAs that he would take up with the Chief Minister the proposal to provide ₹10 lakh accident insurance cover.
