AP Government has devised ‘Pedalandariki Illu” (housing for poor) at Komaragiri layout of Pithapuram Assembly constituency in East Godavari district. The fact that 30.75 lakh beneficiaries have been identified across the state and 28.30 lakh houses will be given under 17,000 YSR Jagananna layouts and 2.62 lakh more of TIDCO flats, is something unheard of in independent India. The plan is to send the district administration to the beneficiaries in a systematic manner, seek the approval of the beneficiaries for the design and reach the construction materials. The government had acquired 68,361 acres of land worth ?23,535 crore, where each beneficiary will receive a land costing around ?4 lakh. For the first time in the country, a house site patta is being given for just one rupee to the beneficiaries. The entire TIDCO housing burdens the government of ?4,237 crore and another ?3,000 crore for creating basic infrastructure facilities.
