RAJAHMUNDRY: The Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, has said that his Government has drawn up an action plan to provide house to every poor person in the State under the Rajiv Grihakalpa scheme and also under Vambay scheme. "There is no bar in giving houses to the poor. We will see that each poor person would get a house under this scheme," he said, after laying the foundation for 1050 houses in Mallaihpeta R and B site under Rajiv Grihakalpa. Under the scheme, the Housing Department and the Municipal Corporation are constructing 4000 houses (ground plus two floors) with Rs.8 crores in different places in the city. He interacted with beneficiaries of Rajiv Grihakalpa at the foundation site in Mallaihpeta and assured the agitating local women that they would be included in the list of beneficiaries. After the inauguration the Chief Minister went to Residential Bridge school, running for the benefit of child labour. He met the children and enquired about the motivation being given by teachers. Under the Praja Patham programme, the Chief Minister visited Veerabhadrapuram urban slum area in 43rd ward and participated in an interactive session with DWACRA women and also with tribal and SC youth, who have received vocational training and are working in the private sector with the help of DRDA and Velugu projects. He visited stalls set up by women from Fashion Technology course under Velugu. At a public meeting, the Chief Minister announced that every municipality would provide drinking water tap connection to every poor household. He said Rajahmundry would be the first to launch this programme shortly. He said under the new scheme municipalities would provide the elixir of life for 24 hours throughout the year at a minimum charge of Rs. 100 per poor house for 12 months instead of charging Rs. 5000-6000 from each beneficiary. Up to a certain quantity water would be given free of cost. Mr. Reddy said his Government was contemplating extending the facility of providing bank loans at 25 paise interest to urban poor women.
