The Telangana government is taking significant steps to address housing shortages within its Scheduled Tribe (ST) communities, with a focused initiative to deliver Indiramma houses to the Chenchu tribe. Revenue and housing minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy will be officially handing over sanction letters to Chenchus at Mannanur in the Achampet constituency on Monday, marking a key moment in the government's long-term strategy.
Key Takeaways:
- Priority for ST Members: The Congress government is explicitly prioritizing the allotment of Indiramma houses to members of the Scheduled Tribes community.
- 13,000 Units Dedicated: A total of 13,000 Indiramma houses have been sanctioned specifically for Chenchus.
- Additional 9,000 Houses: An additional 9,000 houses are planned for ST-reserved Assembly constituencies.
- Saturation Method: The implementation utilizes a “saturation method,” targeting 13,266 Chenchu families across 21 constituencies within the four Integrated Tribal Development Agencies (ITDAs).
- Government Support: The initiative follows suggestions from Governor Jishnu Dev Varma and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to construct permanent homes in tribal areas.
This focused approach demonstrates the government's commitment to addressing the long-standing housing needs of the Chenchu community, a historically marginalized group within Telangana. The saturation method – delivering homes directly to families across multiple ITDAs – highlights the scale of this project and the government's determined effort to uplift vulnerable populations. The initiative represents a critical investment in the future of the Chenchu people.
Further details about the Indiramma houses scheme and its overall impact will undoubtedly be revealed as the project progresses. This landmark event underscores the government's dedication to social equity and the provision of basic necessities to all its citizens.
