Hyderabad: Animal Husbandry Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav inaugurated 1700 2BHK Dignity Housing Colony at Bahadurpally, Quthbullapur in Medchal district here on Saturday.
Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao had formulated the housing scheme for the poor and needy for a dignity living.

Allotment of the houses has been done with transparency and no political alliance. Not even one rupee has been collected from any beneficiary. Each house costing about Rs 50 to 60 lakh is being given to the poor and needy free of cost by the government. The cost of an acre, where the housing colonies are being built, is around Rs 8 to 10 crore. This scheme is unique and not implemented anywhere else in the country. Those who did not get houses in the first phase will still be eligible in the future phases.
