A significant announcement is scheduled for this Thursday. The names of 12,000 fortunate individuals who are eligible to receive two-bedroom houses in Greater Hyderabad will be disclosed. These houses are a result of a government initiative to provide better housing to citizens.
Selection Process in 24 Constituencies
The preparation phase involved listing 60,000 individuals, with 2,500 people per legislative constituency. The city is divided into 24 constituencies for this purpose. Among these applicants, 500 individuals will be chosen from each constituency. The announcement event will be hosted by Minister Srinivas Yadav at the Hyderabad District Collectorate office in Lakdikapool.
Transparent Selection via Lucky Draw
The selection process will involve a transparent method. Instead of the traditional method of drawing names from a box, a lucky draw will be conducted using a randomization software. This ensures fairness in the selection process. Special screens have been set up at the collectorate meeting hall to clearly display the names of the chosen beneficiaries. Key officials including Ministers Talasani and Mahmood Ali, District Collectors Anudeep Durishetti, Dr. S. Harish, Amoy Kumar, GHMC Commissioner Ronald Ross, and Mayor Gadwal Vijayalakshmi will also be present at the event.
Examination of Applications and Eligibility
A few years ago, a large number of people in Hyderabad applied for free two-bedroom houses offered by the government. The number of applications ranged from 5,000 to 10,000 in each constituency. Teams from GHMC and other departments conducted field-level examinations to confirm the eligibility of applicants. Surprisingly, only half of the lakhs of applications were thoroughly examined. To complete the process, the remaining applications will be assessed as part of a phased allotment plan starting from the first week of September.
Efforts in Hyderabad District
In Hyderabad district, 1.61 lakh applications were received across 15 constituencies. The officials visited the addresses of 80,000 applicants to verify their eligibility. This detailed examination resulted in a report that was then submitted to the revenue authorities.
Stay tuned for Thursday’s reveal of the fortunate individuals who will benefit from this housing initiative.
