Revanth Reddy celebrates Deepavali with Indiramma housing beneficiary in Kodangal
The Chief Minister inaugurated a new home for a family in Parsapur village to highlight the state's flagship housing programme.
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy celebrated Deepavali with Goripalli Sumitra and Srinivas, beneficiaries of the Indiramma housing scheme, at Parsapur village in Kodangal on Sunday. According to The Hindu, the Chief Minister inaugurated their new home, presented the family with new clothes, and shared a traditional meal at their residence.
The programme, titled ‘Maa Indiramma Intlo Deepavali’, was an initiative by the Chief Minister to have elected representatives celebrate the festival with families who received permanent homes through government assistance. Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar and Ministers Seethakka, Jupally Krishna Rao, and Damodar Rajanarasimha also joined the family for lunch.
The Indiramma housing scheme is a flagship programme of the Revanth Reddy government. Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy recently stated that approximately 2.21 lakh Indiramma houses have been completed across the state. The government has sanctioned 4.5 lakh houses in the first phase and 2.5 lakh in the second phase, with a total commitment of around ₹40,000 crore.
Following the celebrations, the Chief Minister inaugurated several development projects in the Kodangal constituency. These included the Sir C.V. Raman Science Museum in Kosgi, a primary health centre in Balampet, and police stations in Dudyala and Kodangal.
He also opened a new government junior college in Doulatabad and educational buildings in Hakimpet.
The Indiramma Indlu scheme was a Congress promise before the 2023 Assembly elections, offering ₹5 lakh in financial assistance to eligible homeless families to construct houses featuring two rooms, a kitchen, and a toilet.
