Thalliki Vandanam (Andhra Pradesh)

Mothers (or guardians) in Andhra Pradesh whose children study in class 1 to 12 (Intermediate) in a government, aided or recognised private school or junior college. Every school-going child in the family is covered, not just one. The family must hold an Andhra Pradesh rice card and meet the state’s income, land and asset limits; income-tax payers and government employees are left out. The child needs the attendance the state sets for the year.

₹15,000 a year for every school-going child in the family, paid to the mother’s bank account (a part is kept for school upkeep). It replaced Amma Vodi from 2025-26. The 2026-27 instalment was reported paid in July 2026; check your status on the GSWS portal or at the secretariat. Spelling varies: Talliki, Thalliki or Talli ki Vandanam are the same scheme.

Aadhaar card (linked to your mobile number); Ration card; Bank passbook or account details (Aadhaar-seeded account); Proof of admission or fee receipt; Mobile number for OTP.

There is no separate form for most families: the list is prepared from school and household (GSWS) data. Check the eligible list displayed at your village or ward secretariat, or ask the welfare and education assistant there. If your child is missing, file a grievance at the secretariat with Aadhaar, rice card and school details during the objection window. Official site: https://gsws-nbm.ap.gov.in/BMS/

Open the GSWS beneficiary status page (gsws-nbm.ap.gov.in), choose Thalliki Vandanam, enter the mother’s Aadhaar and the OTP. Or ask at your village or ward secretariat with the mother’s Aadhaar. Check the bank passbook or SMS: the credit shows in the mother’s Aadhaar-seeded account.

It replaced Amma Vodi. Amma Vodi paid one amount per mother; Thalliki Vandanam pays ₹15,000 for every school-going child in the family.

File a grievance at your village or ward secretariat with Aadhaar, rice card and the child’s school details. Common reasons are a bank account not seeded with Aadhaar, low attendance, or crossing the income or land limit.
