Even though the TG Government is facing financial problems in constructing Indiramma houses, funds are being released every Monday as construction progresses, said Revenue, Housing, I & PR Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy.
He said that Rs 16.07 crore was released on Monday for 1,383 houses whose basements had been completed, and for 224 houses whose walls were fully constructed. A total of Rs 53.64 crore has been paid to 5,364 beneficiaries who completed their basements and walls so far.
On Monday, the payments given to beneficiaries were reviewed with officials through a Zoom meeting.
Speaking on the occasion, Ponguleti said that 47,335 Indiramma houses have been sanctioned under the pilot project of the Indiramma Housing Scheme, and so far, 20,104 houses have been cleared. Of this, 5,140 houses have basements, 300 have walls, and another 10 houses have been completed up to the roof slab. He said that money is being deposited directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries in four instalments without any middlemen.
He said that Rs 1 lakh will be released after the basement is completed, Rs 1.25 lakh after the walls are completed, Rs 1.75 lakh after the slab is completed, and the remaining Rs 1 lakh after the house is completed.
He asked officials to complete the construction of Indiramma houses as soon as possible, as the monsoon is nearing.
10,031 apply for 5,000 licensed surveyors’ posts
Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy said the Indira Gandhi Government, headed by Chief Minister Revanth, is working with determination to provide a permanent solution to land disputes by creating accurate land records.
The Bhu Bharati Act has made it mandatory to attach a land survey map for the registration process, and the need for a large number of surveyors has been identified to implement this policy as soon as possible.
For this, applications were invited for the recruitment of 5,000 licensed surveyors by May 17, and 10,031 people applied, he said. The Minister reviewed the recruitment of licensed surveyors on Monday. Speaking on the occasion, he directed the officials to immediately complete all arrangements regarding the training of licensed surveyors. He said that training will be given for two months at the Survey Training Academy (TALIM) in Gachibowli from May 26.
Digitisation of Village Maps
He said the digitalisation of survey records (maps) will be carried out through TGRAC (Telangana Remote Sensing Applications Centre).
He said this process will be started in three villages on a pilot basis – Lingala village in the Lingala mandal of Nagarkurnool district, Takkalapalli in the Mallial mandal of Jagtial district, and Peddakorukondi in the Kallur mandal of Khammam district.
He said that digital maps can be easily accessed from anywhere, and accurate information can be obtained faster and at a lower cost than manual methods.
He said that through digital mapping, details like the size and shape of land areas can be obtained accurately.
He said that transparency in government services will increase and the mutation process will be accelerated. He explained that restoration and security can be stored securely in digital form and can be updated from time to time.
