Indiramma Housing Scheme will prioritise poorest in Telangana, CM Revanth Reddy

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy announced that the Indiramma Housing Scheme will prioritise the poorest of the poor, with specific preference given to the physically challenged, agricultural laborers, landless people, and sanitation workers. The move underscores the state’s commitment to addressing housing inequality and providing secure shelter to its most vulnerable citizens.

During a review meeting held at his residence on Friday evening, the Chief Minister directed officials to ensure that beneficiaries who possess their own land are prioritised in the first phase of the scheme. He emphasised the role of village secretaries and mandal-level officers, instructing them to leverage available technology to guarantee transparency and efficiency in the selection process. “It is critical that the Indiramma Housing mobile app operates seamlessly, ensuring no beneficiary faces difficulties,” said Revanth Reddy.

The Chief Minister also called for the implementation of a special quota for tribal communities and Integrated Tribal



Development Agency (ITDA) regions within the scheme. Stressing the importance of inclusivity, he stated that beneficiaries should be allowed to construct additional rooms in their allotted homes if they wish, enabling them to tailor their housing to their needs.

To strengthen the execution of the scheme, Chief Minister Reddy instructed senior officials to reinforce the Housing Department with adequate staffing and resources. “Mistakes at the departmental level are unacceptable. We need a robust structure to ensure the success of the Indiramma Housing Scheme,” he remarked.

The meeting was attended by State Housing Minister P Srinivasa Reddy, Chief Minister's Advisor Vem Narender Reddy, Principal Secretary Chandrasekhar Reddy, Housing Secretary Dr Jyoti Buddha Prakash, Special Secretary VP Gautam, and other senior officials.

The Indiramma Housing Scheme, a flagship initiative of the state government, aims to provide dignified housing to marginalised communities, fostering social equity and economic stability.
