Massive Construction of Houses under NTR Urban Housing Scheme

Around 35,000 Houses have been given for construction under NTR Urban Housing Programme to Tirupati Urban Development Authority (TUDA).

TDP Government has allowed TUDA to take up the housing scheme in 4 constituencies – Tirupati, Chandragiri, Srikalahasti and Nagari. Middle Class and Poor people residing in 167 villages in these 4 constituencies will be benefited from NTR Urban Housing Scheme.

To avail the benefit under NTR Urban Housing Scheme, the beneficiary will have to contribute Rs. 40,000 against which he will be given a subsidy of Rs. 2.5 lakh by the government.

The NTR Urban Housing Scheme is applicable to the apartments for which the government will grant a subsidy of Rs. 3 lakh. The beneficiary contribution is only Rs. 5000 to the people who come under BPL and Rs. 50,000 to others. The beneficiary should have annual income of maximum Rs. 6,00,000 to avail the scheme.

TUDA is expecting the demand for the houses under NTR Housing Scheme to be around 50,000. It will seek the government to increase the number of houses to be constructed under NRT Urban Housing Scheme.

More than 3 lakh Families given Homes under NTR Housing Scheme

Recently, around 3,00,346 families in Andhra Pradesh were handed-over homes under NTR Housing Scheme. This event that celebrated house-warming for around 3 lakh families from weaker sections of the society has been tagged as ‘Guinnees World Record Event’. The beneficiaries for the Housing Scheme were chosen through a Smart Pulse Survey.

So far, the Government has built around 5,80,530 houses under NTR Housing Scheme.

The house sanctioned under the Housing Scheme is constructed on an individual plot with a single- bedroom unit of about 750 sq ft. Carpet area, a living room, kitchen, and a bathroom. Apartment complexes with four floors were built in areas where the land was not available.

The NTR Housing Scheme targets those individuals who belong to the poor sections of the society and cannot afford to buy a home for themselves. By granting them subsidy or giving them a house, the Andhra Pradesh Government seeks to make the state hut-free; where all atleast have a roof over their head.

The Andhra Pradesh government has planned to build around 20 lakh houses by 2019. This would cost it around Rs. 50,000 crore.

In addition to this, the Government has also taken steps to eliminate corruption from the project by ensuring that all the payments are made through NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India) gateway and by regularly monitoring the project’s progress through geo-tagging.
