The distribution ceremony was held with local MLA Bandla Krishna Mohan Reddy, District Collector B.Y.M. Santosh, and Additional Collector Lakshminarayana attending as chief guests.
As part of the government's mission to fulfill the dream of homeownership for the underprivileged, the MLA and the District Collector personally handed over the Indiramma Housing approval documents to deserving families. In recognition of their commitment to public service, local leaders and PACS Chairman honored the guests with shawls and floral bouquets.
MLA's Address:
Speaking on the occasion, MLA Bandla Krishna Mohan Reddy highlighted the developmental strides being made in Gattu Mandal, which was once known for migration due to poverty. He mentioned that since taking office, he had consistently worked to secure government funding to develop the region. He proudly stated that Gattu Mandal is now witnessing improvement in various sectors, including education, where local students are now securing jobs as teachers, police officers, and gaining admissions in medical colleges.
The MLA further said that under Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's leadership, the state government has already fulfilled two of the six major guarantees promised during the election campaign, such as free bus travel for women, subsidized LPG cylinders at ₹500, 200 units of free electricity, farmer loan waivers, Rythu Bandhu support, ration cards, and fine rice distribution.
He emphasized that for families who have lived in rented huts for generations, the government is now sanctioning ₹5 lakhs per house under the Indiramma Housing Scheme to build permanent homes. In the first phase, 3,500 houses have been sanctioned for the Gadwal constituency, of which 780 houses are allotted to Gattu Mandal.
He reassured the public: 'There's no need for concern. Every eligible person will receive their due benefits under the welfare schemes.'

District Collector B.Y.M. Santosh echoed the state government's commitment to eradicating hut dwellings across Telangana through the prestigious Indiramma Housing Scheme, with 3,500 houses allocated per constituency.

The Collector also assured that a second phase of allotment will soon begin to cover more needy families. Highlighting the rapid transformation, he noted that Gattu Mandal, once labeled among the most backward areas in Asia, is now progressing in various sectors, including education and healthcare, thanks to the continued efforts of the local leadership.

Telangana leads nation in providing housing for the poor: Minister Ponguleti
Hyderabad, June 30 (UNI) Telangana is emerging as a national leader in providing housing for the poor through the ambitious Indiramma Housing Scheme, said State Revenue, Housing and Information & Public Relations Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy today. Reviewing the progress of the scheme with officials, Minister Ponguleti stated that no other government in the country has taken up house construction for the poor at a unit cost of Rs 5 lakh. He emphasised that houses are being constructed for all eligible individuals in the state, regardless of whether they are covered under central schemes, an official statement said. 'To empower the poor and ensure dignified living, the Indiramma government is building homes for all, with a vision to eliminate huts in the state,' the Minister said. He credited Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's leadership and commitment to the welfare of the underprivileged for the rapid progress of the housing initiative. So far, three lakh houses have been sanctioned across Telangana, with 1.23 lakh currently under various stages of construction. The government has set a target to build 4.5 lakh Indiramma houses this year, at a cost of Rs 22,500 crore, covering 3,500 houses in each Assembly constituency. To ease the burden on beneficiaries, the government is also providing 40 metric tons of sand free of cost for each house. Minister Ponguleti added that funds for the construction are being deposited directly into the bank accounts of beneficiaries every Monday, ensuring transparency and timeliness. He urged officials to accelerate efforts in urban areas, directing them to identify suitable land and prepare action plans for cities including Hyderabad, Warangal, Mahabubnagar, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, and Nalgonda. The Minister also stressed the need for improved performance in some districts in both sanctioning and executing the housing projects. 'Indiramma houses are not just structures—they are a symbol of dignity, stability, and a new beginning for thousands of families,' Ponguleti added. UNI VV RN

Nagaland min calls for continued central funds for cooperatives
Dimapur: Nagaland PHE and cooperation minister N Jacob Zhimomi on Monday urged the Centre to continue funding National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC)-sponsored projects like Integrated Cooperative Development Project, which is very popular among the farming community in the northeast. Attending the one-day national conference of cooperation ministers of all states/UTs held under the chairmanship of Union home minister Amit Shah at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, Zhimomi said unlike other parts of the country, the cooperatives in northeast are managerially and financially weak and rely on govt support, especially on NCDC funding for taking up various business activities. Zhimomi lauded the cooperation ministry's key initiatives such as the national cooperative database in streamlining the database and categorising cooperative societies across various parameters. Pointing out that one key challenge in computerisation of primary agricultural credit societies (PACS) is the inability of the officials and secretaries to effectively understand and adopt the digitisation process, he suggested for deploying data entry operators at each PACS for a minimum period of three years, which will provide sufficient time for the PACS to build internal capacity and eventually employ operators at their own cost.
