The Chief Minister often described the volunteer system as the backbone of the welfare programmes. The entire country has been observing the functioning of the system in AP, with inspiration and surprise, he has noted. Jagan Mohan Reddy called the volunteer force as the Jagan Army taking the welfare schemes to the doorsteps of families, in a sincere and transparent manner.

The officials explained that, in addition, 997 volunteers, who collected good quality testimonials from beneficiaries of the YSR Pension Kanuka, Aasara and other schemes were selected in a transparent manner by a committee headed by the district collectors, and are awarded cash prizes of Rs.61 crore.
