Talliki Vandanam 2026: Status Check, Release Date, Eligibility & Beneficiary List

The Talliki Vandanam Scheme 2026 is a welfare programme launched by the Government of Andhra Pradesh to support school education by providing financial assistance to mothers or guardians of eligible students. Under the scheme, ₹15,000 per student is sanctioned annually, with benefits credited through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to eligible beneficiaries.

Talliki Vandanam Scheme 2026 Overview

What is Talliki Vandanam Scheme?

The Talliki Vandanam Scheme is a flagship education assistance programme launched by the Government of Andhra Pradesh under its Super Six welfare promises. 

The scheme aims to ensure that no child drops out of school due to financial constraints by providing annual financial assistance to mothers or guardians of eligible students studying from Class 1 to Class 12, including Intermediate courses.

• Under the scheme, ₹15,000 per student is sanctioned every year. 
• Out of this amount, ₹13,000 is credited directly to the beneficiary's Aadhaar-linked bank account through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). 
• ₹2,000 is retained by the government for school sanitation and maintenance activities.

Per-Child Coverage under Talliki Vandanam

Unlike the earlier Amma Vodi scheme, which restricted benefits to only one child per household, the Talliki Vandanam Scheme provides assistance for every eligible child in the family. 

Under the scheme guidelines, eligible mothers or guardians can receive benefits separately for each child studying in Classes 1 to 12, ensuring larger families are not excluded from educational support.

Talliki Vandanam Release Date 2026

The Andhra Pradesh Government has scheduled the Talliki Vandanam Scheme disbursement for the 2026-27 academic year during the third week of July 2026. 

The revised schedule aligns the scheme rollout with the state's Mega Parent-Teacher Meeting (PTM) programme and allows authorities to complete backend verification of Aadhaar-linked and NPCI-mapped bank accounts to ensure smooth Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) payments.
