The Telangana government is pushing forward with the Mahila Shakti Scheme, focusing on building strong infrastructure to empower rural women. As part of this initiative, construction of women buildings is gaining momentum across villages, aiming to provide a dedicated space for women’s growth and collaboration.
To ensure smooth execution, authorities have instructed that at least 200 square yards of government land be allocated in every gram panchayat. Out of 12,728 panchayats in the state, land has already been identified in 8,193 locations. Permissions have been granted for over 6,000 buildings, and estimates for more than 5,000 projects are ready, with construction progressing rapidly across districts.
The initiative is being closely monitored under the leadership of Rural Development Minister Seethakka, with coordinated efforts between multiple departments. A special mechanism has been established to streamline processes from land identification to approvals and construction, ensuring faster completion of the projects.
Several milestones have already been achieved on the ground. Foundation stones have been laid in multiple villages in Mulugu district, while the first building has been inaugurated in Sarvepalli village of Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district. Another building has been completed in Alwal village of Keshampet mandal in Rangareddy district.
These women buildings are expected to become central hubs for rural women, supporting meetings, training programs, skill development, and income generating activities. They will also serve as spaces where women can come together, share ideas, and take collective decisions.
The government envisions these centers as symbols of dignity, unity, and financial independence for women. In the future, they may also function as sales centers for products made by women, further boosting livelihoods.
Officials aim to complete construction within a fixed timeline and make these facilities accessible as early as possible. The Mahila Shakti Scheme is set to play a key role in strengthening both the social and economic standing of women in rural Telangana.
