There is a dire need for the financial support to the elderly people to lead a decent life in their old age. The Government of Andhra Pradesh has been providing financial assistance to the elderly persons under the welfare Scheme named YSR Pension Kanuka. And also launched the Government Insurance Scheme YSR Bima to give life support to the elderly persons. Free health facilities are being provided to the target group Under the Health Scheme YSR Aarogyasri at government as well as in corporate hospitals for the treatment of major diseases and surgeries. The fruits of any welfare scheme will reach to the target group only when they have awareness about the schemes and availing the facilities under the schemes. For this, the needy people require a supporting system to assist them to get the benefits under the welfare schemes.
