Indiramma Housing Scheme aims to fulfill dreams of all eligible poor people to own a house: Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy
The Indiramma housing programme is a continuous process aimed at fulfilling housing dreams of all eligible poor people in a phased manner across the State, said Minister for Revenue, Housing and Information and Public Relations Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy. Despite financial constraints, the People's Government (Congress government) has allocated ₹22,500 crore for the first phase of the Indiramma Housing Scheme this year, he said. He was speaking after handing over sanction letters to the beneficiaries of the Indiramma Housing Scheme under Edulapuram municipal limits in Khammam on Wednesday. As many as 3,500 houses are being sanctioned to each Assembly Constituency in the first phase of the scheme. Additionally, houses are being allocated to Chenchus (one of the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups) in a saturation mode. The Minister asserted that the houses are being sanctioned in a transparent manner to deliver the benefits to the deserving poor people. Our government is working with resolute commitment for the welfare of poor and marginalised sections of the society, he said, adding that it was the aim of the Congress government to construct 20 lakh Indiramma houses to fulfill the dreams of all homeless poor people to own a house in a phased manner. The BRS government belied the aspirations of homeless poor people by depriving them of a roof over their heads during its nearly 10-year rule, he charged. Khammam Collector Muzammil Khan and Commissioner of Police Sunil Dutt, among others were present. Later, the Minister laid foundation stones for various road works in Khammam rural mandal.
