        abstract = {The P4 (Public-Private-People Partnership) model, launched by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and supported by Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, represents an innovative approach to poverty eradication through participatory governance. Introduced in 2025 under the Swarna Andhra Vision 2047, the P4 initiative aims to eliminate poverty by 2029 by connecting affluent individuals (Margadarsies) with underprivileged families (Bangaru Kutumbams) for mentorship and support. This paper evaluates the P4 model’s structure, implementation, and potential impact on poverty alleviation and governance in Andhra Pradesh. Using a mixed-methods approach, including qualitative analysis of policy documents and quantitative data from early adoption metrics, the study assesses the model’s strengths, challenges, and scalability. Findings suggest that while the P4 model fosters inclusive growth and community engagement, its success hinges on sustained private-sector participation, transparent beneficiary selection, and robust digital monitoring. This paper contributes to the discourse on participatory governance and offers insights for policymakers aiming to replicate such models.},
