KOTHAGUDEM: The Minister for Vaidyavidhana Parishad, Vanama Venkateswar Rao said on Thursday that the pucca houses built in the villages of Khammam under the Indiramma housing programme proved to be the big levellers of the social norms.
Addressing the Indiramma Griha pravesham programme in Chatakonda village, he said that the families which had been struggling in the thatched hutments all round the year to keep the rain out and counter the harsh sun, once and for all got the concrete roof that would protect them from the vagaries of nature.
He hoped that there would be no family left without shelter in his constituency in couple of years. He said Indiramma houses built at a cost of Rs. 50 lakhs were completed in the village of Chatakonda, Sativarigudem and Hamali colony. For a majority of the Indiramma housing beneficiaries, it was a dream come true.
Any assistance for housing was a welcome relief for such families. But the government had taken steps to implement the programme in a full-fledged manner by extending them a total package. Mekala Nagamma, one of the Indiramma beneficiaries had spent the past 65 years in a hutment in Chetakonda village.
