Our Zero Poverty P4 Pledge

A registered Margadarsi under the Bangaru Kutumbalu program of the Government of Andhra Pradesh, committed to a poverty-free state, twenty families at a time.

The commitment

On 16 August 2025, GCS registered with the Government of Andhra Pradesh as a Margadarsi, a guide, under the Bangaru Kutumbalu program. We pledged to support ten families in urban Visakhapatnam, across Pendurthi and GVMC areas, and ten families in rural Anakapalli, around Madugula. The goal for every family is the same: financial stability and self-reliance, through support and mentorship shaped to their needs.

Financial stability

Helping families reach economic independence through targeted support and honest guidance.

Targeted resources

Opportunities and mentorship matched to each family, because no two journeys out of poverty look alike.

Respect throughout

Every family is met with empathy and dignity, and their privacy stays protected at every step.

Official certificates

The Government of Andhra Pradesh issued certificates for both district commitments on 16 August 2025. Each carries a QR code so anyone can verify the pledge directly.

The pledge at work

P4 is not paperwork to us. Free eye camps and family support in the pledge villages are already underway, and the local press has taken notice.
