The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) has announced that it will be distributing housing plots to over 48,000 economically weaker individuals from the Krishna and Guntur districts. These plots, which span over six villages and 1,135 acres, will be allocated to those who do not currently own a home in the areas of Mandadam, Inavolu, Krishnayapalem, Navuluru, Kuragallu and Nidamanuru.
The government has made amendments to the CRDA Act, specifically Section 41(3) and (4), to facilitate the allocation of house sites to the poor. A new R5 zone has been created and various lands have been brought under its jurisdiction to support this initiative.
The decision to distribute these plots follows a thorough process of soliciting feedback from the public, as well as addressing objections and suggestions. In October, the government interacted with the public and has since issued a gazette notification to officially announce the plan.
The district collectors of Krishna and Guntur have been directed by Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to prepare detailed project reports (DPR) and a list of beneficiaries, which will be passed on to the CRDA. Once finalized, the beneficiaries of the plots will receive house pattas (documents) in the third phase of the 'Navaratnalu houses for the poor' program.
Additionally, Reddy has instructed officials to create a comprehensive action plan for developing the basic infrastructure necessary for the construction of houses. The goal is to expedite the procedures so that work can commence in the first week of May.
This initiative is part of the government's broader mission to address poverty and provide adequate housing for those in need. By creating a new R5 zone, the government hopes to make it easier to allocate plots to economically disadvantaged individuals who do not have a home of their own. The government's efforts to address poverty extend beyond housing. The 'Navaratnalu' program, which aims to provide nine welfare schemes for the poor, has also been launched. These initiatives include financial support for farmers, women's empowerment, and free medical services, among others.
Overall, the government's commitment to improving the lives of its citizens is commendable. The allocation of housing plots to poor individuals is a step in the right direction and will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the lives of many families. The development of basic infrastructure and support for other welfare initiatives will also play a crucial role in promoting sustainable development and reducing poverty in the state.
