  "account": "The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to launch a 'Seva Jyothi Yatra' across all districts of Andhra Pradesh on October 7, as part of the 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan', according to party leader Yamini Sharma. The month-long initiative, which commenced on September 17, encompasses blood donation drives, Anganwadi programs, and projects aimed at fostering innovation and skill development among the youth. Sharma disclosed that an innovation challenge with a prize pool of ₹5.4 crore will be held to spur startups and innovation among young entrepreneurs. The previous 'Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra' had successfully facilitated the direct dissemination of Central government schemes to the public, thereby enhancing awareness of their advantages. Sharma noted that the involvement of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan, and their party leaders and cadres in the 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' marked a positive development. She emphasized that Andhra Pradesh could serve as a model for illustrating how collaboration between the Center and a State under a \"double-engine government\" could expedite development.",
