Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan appears to be ignorant of what is happening in the state, particularly regarding the responsibilities assigned to the volunteers.
The Jagan Mohan Reddy government appointed two lakh volunteers in 26 districts to serve the people.
Each volunteer is responsible for 50 families, and they themselves come from one of these 50 families, whether in rural or urban areas.
They ensure that monthly pensions reach the elderly, disabled, sick, and widows, making sure that every eligible beneficiary receives the state government's schemes.
They also provide nutritious food to pregnant and lactating women and keep a watchful eye on them for any medical emergencies.
Without being aware of all these details, Pawan Kalyan questioned the volunteers' practice of collecting data from every family.
He asked, "Why does it matter to you if a woman is pregnant? Why are you collecting this data?"
He further stated that ten volunteers were visiting families and gathering information about family members.
However, what he fails to understand is that the volunteers do not visit families as a group; rather, they come from the families living within a limited area.
Every family is acquainted with each volunteer, and there are both male and female volunteers.
Pregnant and lactating women receive nutritious food and medical assistance through these volunteers.
In case of a medical emergency involving pregnant or lactating women, as well as elders or children, the volunteers promptly inform the nearest government doctor or call for an ambulance.
By speaking nonsensically, Pawan Kalyan has exposed his ignorance of the system. One wonders why he is making comments on a system he is uninformed about!
