Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Friday stated that the poorest of the poor will be chosen in an order of priority – physically challenged individuals, agricultural laborers, landless people, and sanitation workers. He conducted a review of the Indiramma housing scheme at his residence on Friday evening. The Chief Minister ordered officials to take necessary precautions, emphasizing that in the first phase, priority would be given to those who possessed their own land.
He directed that village secretaries and mandal-level officials be made responsible for this process, utilizing available technology. The officials have been instructed to ensure that there are no shortcomings in the functioning of the Indiramma Housing mobile app and that beneficiaries should not face any difficulty at any stage.
Revanth Reddy warned officials against mistakes at the department level and suggested implementing steps to provide a special quota for tribals and ITDAs within the Indiramma housing scheme. He made it clear that beneficiaries should have the freedom to construct additional rooms in the allotted Indiramma houses if they are interested.
The Chief Minister asked senior officials to strengthen the Housing Department to ensure effective implementation of the Indiramma Housing Scheme and to appoint the necessary officers and staff. State Housing Minister P Srinivasa Reddy, Chief Minister's Advisor Vem Narender Reddy, Chief Minister's Principal Secretary Chandrasekhar Reddy, Housing Secretary Dr. Jyoti Buddha Prakash, Special Secretary V.P. Gautam, and others were present during the review.
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister expressed that the ‘people’s government’ is encouraging farmers who have made Telangana the rice bowl by cultivating 1.53 crore tonnes of paddy. He posted on ‘X’ that the effort to turn agriculture into a festival by paying a bonus of Rs. 12,000 per acre is giving him immense satisfaction.
