Seethakka Distributes Indiramma Housing Sanction Letters To 109 Beneficiaries

Minister for panchayat raj, rural development, rural water supply, and women and child welfare Danasari Anasuya Seethakka said the government was committed to helping poor families realise their dream of owning a house through the Indiramma housing scheme.

On Friday, she participated in the second phase of the distribution of housing sanction letters at Rythu Vedika in Govindaraopet mandal. Along with district collector Borkhade Hemant Sahadeorao, she distributed letters to 109 beneficiaries from 13 villages. Each beneficiary will receive `5 lakh, taking the total allocation to `5.45 crore.

Seethakka said around 5,000 houses had been sanctioned in the first phase in Mulugu constituency. Those who were eligible but had not received houses in the current phase need not worry, as they would be considered in subsequent phases.

She urged beneficiaries to use the financial assistance properly and complete construction in accordance with government guidelines. Funds would be released after the foundation work was completed.

The minister said eligible women belonging to self-help groups could obtain loans of up to `1 lakh through their groups to meet initial construction expenses. She directed officials to ensure the availability of sand and asked sarpanches to support beneficiaries in building their houses.

Referring to the government’s welfare initiatives, Seethakka cited schemes including free electricity, ration rice, free bus travel for women and Indiramma houses. She expressed hope that beneficiaries would celebrate Bathukamma in their own homes next year.

Superintendent of police Sudheer Ramnath Kekan and other officials attended the programme.
