Indiramma houses in G+3 buildings for poor in 16 slums across Hyderabad: Telangana Revenue Minister
Telangana government would construct Indiramma houses in ground-plus-three-storey buildings for the poor in 16 slums across Hyderabad. Similar course of action is being formulated for other districts. People were unwilling to shift to houses constructed on the outskirts of the State capital as they would lose livelihood. Considering this, a decision was taken to construct houses in the localities, said Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy. Besides Hyderabad, it would be implemented in Warangal, Nizamabad, Mahbubnagar, Nalgonda, Karimnagar and other urban localities. Though 42,000 houses were constructed away from Hyderabad, only 19,000 chose to occupy them. Recent field level inspection revealed that only 13,000 are living there, said Mr. Reddy at a review meeting on the Indiramma Houses held on Friday (June 6, 2025). The focus of providing the houses shifted ti the poor in the urban localities after the scheme was streamlined in rural Telangana. Around 10.71 lakh applications for the houses were received from 150 divisions in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). It was learnt that around seven lakh were found to be eligible for the houses.
