NTR Baby Kit Scheme

Announced under Chandrababu Naidu’s leadership in Andhra Pradesh, the “NTR Baby Kit ” scheme, which was discontinued during the YSRCP regime, was unveiled.

Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has taken the lead in protecting the health of mothers and babies in Andhra Pradesh. The government approved the Baby Kit Scheme (NTR Scheme), which was previously suspended by the YSRCP government. Through this program, mothers and their newborn babies will receive the necessary 11 seconds of care. This kit will be very useful for the health of mothers and babies.

These items are designed to provide a healthy and safe environment for mothers and their babies.

In government hospitals.

Currently, more than half of births in the state take place in public hospitals. In this context, by distributing baby kits in public hospitals, See More is committed to mothers and babies. Through this program, mothers will be able to obtain health items for their children. The state government has decided to allocate Rs 1,410 for the distribution of each kit.
