Telangana’s Housing Minister, Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, recently made significant announcements regarding the Indiramma housing scheme and other public welfare initiatives. He emphasized that houses will be provided to eligible beneficiaries, irrespective of political affiliations, and that his government is committed to transparency and social welfare.
Indiramma Housing Scheme Update
Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy shared promising news for the beneficiaries of the Indiramma housing scheme. The government has committed to distributing homes to all deserving individuals, regardless of political parties, without any expectations of favoritism or subsidies. The scheme will continue to focus on deserving citizens, with plans to fast-track the approval and allocation process. This initiative underscores the government’s resolve to ensure that everyone who qualifies will have access to housing, marking a significant step toward alleviating homelessness in Telangana.
Farmer Loan Waiver Program
In another major announcement, the Minister revealed that the Telangana government is prioritizing farmers’ welfare. As part of its commitment to assist the farming community, the government has already waived off ₹18,000 crore in crop loans, with a further ₹13,000 crore to be waived by December. This move is in line with the government’s promise to offer financial relief to farmers and improve agricultural sustainability. The loan waiver is part of the broader initiative to support the state’s agricultural sector amid ongoing financial challenges.
RVR Act: A Landmark Law
The Telangana government is set to introduce the RVR Act, which aims to address land and property issues. The law is expected to serve as a model for the entire country, promoting transparency in land transactions. Minister Reddy assured that details of the law would soon be revealed in the assembly, with input from opposition leaders also considered. This progressive move promises to resolve long-standing issues related to land ownership and regulatory discrepancies.
Job Creation and Public Welfare
Minister Reddy also highlighted the ongoing efforts to fill government jobs in Telangana. Over 50,000 posts have been filled under the current administration, with Group-1 and Group-4 exams completed. Appointment letters for selected candidates are expected to be issued soon. The government is focused on enhancing employment opportunities and improving public welfare, with job creation being a key priority.
Grain Collection and Bonus for Farmers
Regarding agriculture, the Minister announced the continuation of grain procurement in the state. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has emphasized the importance of collecting grain till the last bushel, and the government has issued clear instructions to ensure a smooth process. A special ₹500 bonus will also be given for small grains, supporting farmers in the region.
Security Measures and Recent Incidents
Minister Reddy also condemned recent attacks on officials in the Vikarabad district. He stated that those responsible for the attack on collector Prateek Jain would be identified and brought to justice. The Minister expressed concern over the involvement of individuals wearing “pink masks” and accused them of orchestrating the attacks under the guise of farmers’ protests. This highlighted the ongoing challenges in maintaining law and order while ensuring that protests are conducted peacefully.
Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy’s updates reflect the Telangana government’s commitment to public welfare, housing, agriculture, and job creation. The Indiramma housing scheme’s expansion and the loan waiver initiative are particularly significant for the state’s socio-economic development. While there are challenges ahead, particularly in maintaining peace and order during protests, the government’s efforts are geared toward long-term prosperity for all Telangana residents.
