MA&UD Minister KTR held a review meeting on the status of dignity housing schemes in Hyderabad. “The government will hand over a total of 85 thousand dignity houses in GHMC limits by December 2020,” said Minister KTR. 

Minister KTR stated that no metro city in the country has constructed such a large number of dignity houses under any program.

During the meeting, the Minister instructed the officials to finalize the beneficiaries list by mid-September. He also asked the officials to visit the dignity housing sites and inspect the construction works.

The government has allocated a total of Rs 9,700 crores for the construction of these houses.

The Government will construct one lakh houses, with about 4000 houses each in 24 constituencies of Hyderabad.

Beginning from this month until December, the government will be handing over the dignity houses to the beneficiaries.

The officials informed the Minister that a total of 75 thousand 2BHK dignity houses and 10 thousand dignity houses under JNNURM and Vambay will be ready by the end of this December.
