Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu has set an ambitious target of providing housing to all eligible families in the state by 2029. Addressing a public gathering in Sullurupeta, he emphasized the government’s commitment to ensuring shelter for the poor through phased implementation.

Highlighting progress so far, the Chief Minister said that housewarming ceremonies have already been completed for around 5.50 lakh homes under the TIDCO housing initiative. He added that another two lakh houses will be ready by June this year, followed by 1.60 lakh more by September.

During his visit, Chandrababu inaugurated 2064 TIDCO houses in Biruduvada village and personally interacted with beneficiaries. He participated in traditional housewarming rituals with families and handed over ownership documents, bringing visible joy to the new homeowners.

The government also plans to provide free land to the remaining beneficiaries as part of its election promise, with two cents in urban areas and three cents in rural regions. The Chief Minister stated that this approach will ensure no eligible family is left without a home.

In addition to housing, Chandrababu announced that surprise inspections will begin across the state from April 1 to assess public opinion and improve governance. He stressed the importance of understanding grassroots issues to deliver effective administration.

The Chief Minister also outlined broader development plans, including completion of the Polavaram project, expansion of drinking water supply, and future provision of gas through pipelines. He encouraged households to adopt solar power solutions to reduce electricity dependency.

Further, he reiterated the government’s focus on welfare schemes such as free gas cylinders under Deepam scheme, social pensions for lakhs of beneficiaries, and support for women entrepreneurship. Efforts are also being made to strengthen coastal security and support fishermen livelihoods.

Chandrababu concluded by stating that the government aims to combine welfare and development to ensure long term growth and improved living standards for all sections of society.
