Telangana Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy says the much-awaited Indiramma Housing Scheme is shortly going to be launched with only the finalization of the list of beneficiaries remaining. At a review meeting on October 26, the minister unveiled a new mobile app meant for increasing transparency in the selection process for this ambitious housing scheme.
Minister Reddy said that the government was planning to hand over houses to all eligible poor families in the state. He said that numerous upgrades have been made to the app and that it will be available next week. One key feature will be making the app available in Telugu, as it will help improve services to the rural segments and make sure that technology is put into practice properly while selecting the beneficiaries and for the allotment of homes.
Indiramma Housing Scheme is one of the six guarantees made by the Congress party in campaigns preceding the Telangana Assembly elections. One of the promises made by the Congress party to the low-income masses in the state is the financial support that this scheme promises to the eligible beneficiaries for building their homes. The government promised to provide the required financial support of ₹5 lakh to the beneficiary and, in case the beneficiary does not possess land, also give the land in order to build homes under the scheme.
The much-promised Indiramma Housing Scheme will soon meet the world, as residents of Telangana eagerly await the government to fulfill this promise of offering a house to every single one among them. On the horizon, therefore, comes the app and the scheme that will see tremendous steps by the state in housing needs for its poorest residents.
