The new Indiramma Housing scheme will be launched in the State on March 11. As part of the implementation of Six Guarantees, the government will take up the ambitious housing scheme as a prestigious programme. Under the scheme, the government will provide financial assistance of Rs 5 lakh to construct a house to those who already own a housing plot. For those who do not possess a plot, a piece of land and Rs 5 lakh will be given as a housing scheme benefit. In the first phase, 500 houses are being granted to each Assembly constituency.
CM Revanth Reddy, along with Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar, and Chief Minister’s Advisor Vem Narendra Reddy held a review meeting to prepare guidelines for the implementation of the housing scheme. The Chief Minister said that the housing scheme benefits would be given to all eligible poor who do not own a house. The officials have been asked to finalize the guidelines accordingly.
Priority will be given to all eligible people who submitted applications in the Praja Palana. Revanth Reddy cautioned the officials not to repeat the mistakes committed by the previous government in the construction of double bed room houses and ensure that only the original beneficiaries benefit from the scheme.
The Chief Minister instructed the officials to prepare guidelines for the release of funds in a phased manner. Different types of house models and designs will be made available for those building a house on their own plot. A kitchen and toilet are required in the construction of the house under the housing scheme. The CM asked the officials to hand over the responsibilities of monitoring the house construction to the Engineering wings in various departments, while district collectors will supervise the implementation of the housing scheme.
