How to Check Talliki Vandanam Scheme Status and Balance

The Talliki Vandanam scheme (formerly known as Amma Vodi) is a welfare initiative launched by the Government of Andhra Pradesh to support mothers in educating their children by providing direct financial assistance.

What is the Talliki Vandanam Scheme?

Under the Talliki Vandanam scheme, eligible mothers or guardians receive ₹15,000 per year to cover school fees, uniforms, books, and other educational expenses for their school-going children (from Class 1 to Class 12).

Unlike earlier iterations, the updated policy promises assistance to every eligible school-going child in a household, ensuring financial barriers do not hinder education.

How to Check Your Talliki Vandanam Payment Status

Beneficiaries can verify their payment status, account details, and eligibility using official digital portals and offline methods.

Method 3: Visit Grama / Ward Sachivalayam

If you face online portal errors or lack smartphone access:

1. Visit your local Grama Sachivalayam (Village Secretariat) or Ward Sachivalayam.
2. Request the Welfare and Education Assistant (WEA) to check your application status.
3. Provide your Aadhaar card, ration card, or child’s Student ID.
4. The assistant will check the official backend dashboard and provide your approval and disbursement details.
