He said 10,256 gram / ward volunteers under 605 gram / ward sachivalayams in all 16 mandals, four municipalities and Vijayawada Municipal Corporation will go to every house under the Suraksha programme.

The collector said under this survey, if an eligible person has not received any welfare scheme, then the team members who have visited that person should know the reason.
