Telangana Government has launched a scheme of 2BHK Housing Scheme where they will provide Double bed house to the houseless poor people of the state. The scheme launched on 2015 in the month of October.
The main aim of the scheme is to provide pucca house to the eligible BPL houseless families by providing 100% subsidized housings. So, under this scheme people no need to contribution anything. In rural areas, people mostly rely on the weather for their income. The 2BHK houses help them avoid getting into debt, like they used to in the past.
Telangana 2BHK Housing Scheme 2024 FRAMEWORK:
Hitherto to the old yardstick was to provide a 260 Sft house with a single room; The “Double Bedroom Housing” provides two bedrooms, hall, kitchen and two toilets covering 560 Sft plinth area. The plot area is 125 Sq yards for an independent house in rural area and worked out to 36 Sq yards of undivided land share in G++ pattern houses in urban areas. Land is thus provided free of cost apart from the cost of the dwelling unit.
This is perhaps the only State in the Country to launch such a liberal scheme for the poor. Under this scheme, the beneficiaries neither take a loan nor contribute which is a great boon for rural and urban poor families, for acquiring the dwelling unit. It is a paradigm shift from a credit and subsidy based scheme to a “fully subsidized scheme” which create a sound economic asset with an hygienic living environment for the beneficiary, there by contributing enormously to the socio-economic growth of the individual and as well as the community.
The Housing Department through District Collectors / GHMC has currently taken up construction of 2.80 lakh houses in the State.
