Revanth Reddy launches Indiramma Housing scheme in Hyderabad, providing financial aid for house construction to eligible individuals.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy will launch the Indiramma Housing scheme at Bhadrachalam on Monday. Under this initiative, individuals possessing their own land and capable of constructing a house will receive financial aid of ₹5 lakh. Fulfilling a poll promise, the Chief Minister will kickstart the scheme, as part of implementation of six guarantees. Eligibility for this scheme extends to all applicants registered under the Praja Palana special drive.
The scheme will be implemented in a phased manner to benefit all the homeless eligible people across the State with a special focus on avoiding the mistakes made during the previous government led by the BRS in the construction of 2BHK houses.
The assistance package comprises ₹5 lakh for the construction of a new house on their own land, while landless and homeless individuals will receive the same amount in addition to a housing plot.
To aid house construction, various house models and designs will be made available, with a focus on incorporating kitchen and toilet facilities into new dwelling designs.
More than 2.6 lakh village and ward volunteers in Andhra Pradesh, once celebrated as the government’s grassroots champions for their crucial role in implementing welfare schemes, are now in a dilemma after learning that their tenure has not been renewed after August 2023 even though they have been paid honoraria till June 2024. Disowned by both YSRCP, which was in power when they were appointed, and the current ruling TDP, which made a poll promise to double their pay, these former volunteers are ruing the day they signed up for the role which they don’t know if even still exists
