"Housing for all by 2029": Andhra CM reaffirms mission at Sullurupeta event

CM Chandrababu Naidu reaffirms mission to provide permanent housing to every homeless family in Andhra Pradesh by 2029, citing rapid construction progress.

"providing permanent housing to the underprivileged is not just a promise but a fundamental principle - N Chandrababu Naidu"

Sullurupeta, March 30

At the grand housewarming ceremony in Sullurupeta on Monday, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu outlined his government's ambitious vision to ensure housing for every homeless family in the state by 2029.

Paying homage to TDP founder N T Rama Rao, the Chief Minister described him as a trailblazer in welfare, whose legacy continues to inspire pro-poor governance.

Reiterating his commitment, Chandrababu Naidu stated that providing permanent housing to the underprivileged is not just a promise but a fundamental principle of his administration.

He emphasised that since taking office in 2024, housing has been treated as a top priority, with focused efforts to accelerate construction and distribution.

Highlighting the government's progress, he recalled that between 2014 and 2019, more than 8.19 lakh houses were built and distributed. Maintaining that pace, the current government has already conducted two major distribution drives within 20 months, including a landmark program in Rayachoti where 3 lakh houses were handed over.

The Chief Minister further noted that construction is actively underway, with nearly 1 lakh houses being built under the AP TIDCO scheme and an additional 1.5 lakh houses under other housing initiatives. In Tirupati district alone, 15,659 houses have been completed and delivered, bringing relief and happiness to thousands of families.

He stated that a total of 5.5 lakh houses have been completed in the last 20 months, including 4.52 lakh houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) and around 78,000 houses in rural areas, reflecting the government's strong push toward inclusive housing development.

Reaffirming his resolve, Chandrababu Naidu assured that the dream of owning a home will soon become a reality for every poor family in Andhra Pradesh.

My cousin in Tirupati district just got her house key last month. The happiness in her voice was priceless. It's a life-changing scheme for so many. Hope they also focus on basic amenities like water and electricity connection along with the houses.

Ambitious target by 2029. The pace seems good, but we've heard big promises before. The key will be transparency in beneficiary selection and preventing corruption at the local level. The government must ensure the houses reach the truly needy.

As someone working in urban development, I find the integration of PMAY (Urban) with state schemes impressive. The scale of 5.5 lakh houses in 20 months is a significant administrative feat if the data is accurate. Sustainability of these housing clusters will be the next challenge.

Good initiative, but what about the rising cost of construction materials? The government should also look at controlling cement and steel prices to ensure the allocated budget is sufficient for quality work. A house that develops cracks in 5 years is no good.

NTR garu's legacy is indeed about putting people first. It's heartening to see that spirit continue. A permanent address changes everything for a child's education and a family's access to services. Hope they achieve the 2029 target. Jai Andhra Pradesh!
