Over 6,900 PMAY houses remain unfinished in Vizianagaram district
VISAKHAPATNAM: Of the nearly 11,000 houses sanctioned under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana ( PMAY ) several years ago, only 41% have been completed in Vizianagaram district , with 6,924 houses yet to be finished. Despite the govt sanctioning additional funds for housing construction, several beneficiaries have not come forward to build their homes. Officials suspect that some beneficiaries are not participating because they already own a house. Vizianagaram district collector Dr BR Ambedkar said that the list of such individuals should be verified by visiting each household, and a report with supporting evidence should be submitted within two days. The houses sanctioned to such individuals will be cancelled, the collector clarified. The collector conducted a review meeting on the progress of housing in the district at the collectorate. Speaking on this occasion, Dr Ambedkar questioned the slow progress in housing completion in Bobbili and Vizianagaram urban areas. Officials explained that the delay was partly due to a lack of water supply and theft of borewells, and that letters have been sent to the municipal commissioners regarding this. The collector ordered that action be taken to ensure all borewells become operational within two days. He also directed that door-to-door awareness campaigns be conducted regarding the additional financial support being provided by the govt. Daily targets should be set to speed up the work, and weekly reviews will be conducted going forward. He instructed that the 4,096 newly submitted applications for house sites be verified. "Another 2,500 manually submitted applications should be coordinated with the respective tahsildars to verify eligibility. Housing should be provided to everyone and that the list of beneficiaries sanctioned under the PM Janman schemes should also be verified," added Dr Ambedkar.

Timely execution of central schemes emphasised
Paderu (ASR district): Lanka Dinakar, Chairman for the implementation of Twenty Point Programme, said the government is committed to ensuring the benefits of every central scheme reach the last person in the most remote tribal hamlets. He stressed the need for timely execution and transparency in every department. The review, held in Paderu on Friday, aimed at transforming the district into a 'Developed Alluri Sitarama Raju District' in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's Swarna Andhra 2047. Joint Collector Abhishek Goud coordinated this meeting, which reviewed centrally sponsored schemes' progress, project implementation, and infrastructure development in the district.

In Jal Jeevan Mission, 3,503 of 7,185 projects have been completed. However, many tap connections remain non-functional, requiring Rs 1,700 crore for full coverage. road projects under PMGSY and PM Janman are progressing slowly, with forest clearances causing delays. Housing under PMAY and PM Janman remains a concern, with only 3,989 homes completed out of over 51,000 sanctioned. Implementation of PM Surya Ghar scheme is lagging, and PM KUSUM remains non-functional in the district. Women empowerment initiatives like Lakhpati Didi and Drone Didi were highlighted, and the need for faster rollout of benefits under PM Vishwakarma and crop insurance was discussed.
