Zero Poverty – Community Level Infrastructure – Kuppam Area Development Authority, Andhra Pradesh

Zero Poverty – Community Level Infrastructure

Problem

  • Low household income and poverty traps required targeted action to raise per capita income from 1.34 lakh in 2022-23 to a targeted 2.98 lakh by 2028-29.
  • Families below the poverty line needed structured livelihood support from Margadarshis, facilitated by CSR partners and NGOs serving as Bangaru Mithras.
  • Citizens lacked adequate access to advanced facilities for education, skills development, digital learning, entrepreneurship, and co-working.
  • Gaps in sanitation awareness and solid waste management infrastructure affected public health, cleanliness, and the overall quality of life in communities.
  • Households needed reliable access to emergency healthcare, doorstep veterinary services, decarbonised personal mobility, and community support systems to reduce vulnerability.

Solution

  • Vulnerable households and community gaps were identified through field surveys, Gram Sabhas, local consultations, and validation by village-level systems.
  • Family needs were mapped and prioritized across livelihoods, housing, sanitation, healthcare, education, mobility, and other essential services.
  • Government schemes, CSR partners, NGOs, Margadarshis, and Bangaru Mithras were aligned to specific intervention areas and beneficiary needs.
  • Household-level and community-level interventions were implemented through coordinated partners, vendors, departments, and field teams.
  • KADA monitored progress through regular reviews, field follow-up, beneficiary tracking, and issue resolution with implementation partners.

Outcomes

  • More than 25.77 crore in CSR support was mobilized to strengthen household development and community infrastructure across Kuppam.
  • Vulnerable households were systematically identified and linked to targeted support through the zero-poverty, family-centered development approach.
  • Access improved to livelihoods, healthcare, mobility, sanitation, digital learning, and other essential community services.
  • Community infrastructure such as roads, drains, streetlights, waste management, and connectivity received focused support through convergence and partnerships.
  • The initiative strengthened self-reliance, dignity, and resilience among vulnerable families, especially women, youth, farmers, and underserved rural households.
