HYDERABAD: The first phase of Indiramma Indlu LIG Housing Towers Scheme, under which one lakh units will be built for the benefit of poor families living in the Core Urban Region (CURE) limits, will be launched on Monday.
Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, along with his ministerial colleagues D Sridhar Babu, Ponnam Prabhakar and Mohammad Azharuddin, will unveil the scheme brochure, application process and eligibility criteria.
After focusing on the implementation of the housing scheme for the rural poor, the state government is now set to fulfil the dream of the urban poor living in Hyderabad and other towns of owning a house, Srinivasa Reddy said.
The minister revealed that the government has prepared an action plan to construct one lakh Low Income Group (LIG) Indiramma houses within the CURE limits. Under the first phase of scheme implementation, 500 houses will be constructed in each Assembly constituency, he added.
He further revealed that the government has identified prime land worth hundreds of crores in key locations across Hyderabad for the housing project.
“Depending on local conditions, land parcels ranging from one to five acres have been acquired at various sites. Unlike the previous government, which developed housing colonies on the city’s outskirts, the new Indiramma houses will be built close to the areas where beneficiaries currently reside, ensuring that their livelihood, children’s education and employment are not affected,” he said.
The minister further said that the government plans to construct modern multi-storey apartment complexes of up to 10 floors, equipped with amenities, to provide every poor family with a dignified living environment.
Under the constituency-based implementation model, each Assembly segment will be treated as a separate unit and applicants must apply within the constituency in which they reside, he clarified.
