The Centre has given its approval to the state government's proposal to construct approximately 47,000 houses in Amaravati for weaker sections of society. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), the Centre will provide a grant of Rs. 1.8 lakh for each housing unit.
This development holds significant importance as Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP National President J P Nadda had criticized the YSRCP government during their visit to the state last month. Despite objections from TDP MPs and YSRCP rebel MP Raghurama Krishnam Raju, the clearance has been granted.
Sources indicate that the construction work is scheduled to commence on July 8, coinciding with the birth anniversary of the late Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. The houses are expected to be completed within six months, prior to the upcoming elections. Initially, the state had requested the Centre to provide 50,000 housing units under PMAY.
Earlier, amidst legal disputes involving local farmers and TDP leaders, the state government allocated house sites to 51,000 families in the R-5 zone. After obtaining clearance from the Andhra Pradesh High Court, the government distributed housing plots to the underprivileged from the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) limits. Despite a petition filed by Land Pool Scheme farmers, the Supreme Court declined to impose a stay on the disbursement of house sites.
The farmers argued that the government had introduced amendments to the CRDA master plan, creating the R-5 zone. In response, the government stated that the master plan specified the allocation of 5 percent of the total extent for housing weaker sections, while the present allocation of 1,170 acres accounted for only approximately 1.5 percent of the total capital city master plan area.
Although beneficiaries of YSR-Jagananna housing colonies were initially expected to construct their own houses, the government has decided to take on the responsibility of building all the houses in Amaravati to ensure timely completion. To meet the deadline before December, the government is planning to employ shear wall technology in the construction process.
The construction of 47,000 houses in Amaravati for the weaker sections of society is a significant step taken by the state government, supported by the Centre's approval and financial assistance under PMAY. The government's decision to build the houses itself reflects a commitment to expedite the construction process and deliver the homes within the specified timeframe. By utilizing shear wall technology, the government intends to ensure efficient construction methods and meet the set deadline.
