History of the Indiramma Housing Scheme
The Indiramma Housing Scheme was initiated during the tenure of the late Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy. Under this scheme, houses were sanctioned based on the saturation model. Between 2004 and 2014, approximately 1.9 million houses were constructed in Telangana. The government has now clarified that individuals who previously received houses under any government scheme will not be eligible to benefit from this scheme again.
With Aadhaar numbers linked to beneficiary details, the government has ensured that the process remains transparent and efficient.
Focus on Landowners in the First Phase
In the first phase, the Revanth government has decided to allocate houses to individuals who own land. Those who obtained houses before 1994 and are still residing in them will now have the opportunity to apply for new housing under the scheme. This decision aims to provide better housing for beneficiaries whose old houses are in dilapidated condition.
