CM Naidu and Shivraj Singh Chauhan lay foundation stone for 300,000 welfare houses in Andhra Pradesh

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, accompanied by Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, presided over a ceremony in Andhra Pradesh to lay the foundation stone for a massive housing initiative. The event, attended by senior officials, marked the official launch of a scheme aimed at constructing 300,000 welfare houses for economically weaker sections of the state.
The welfare housing project, announced earlier this year, seeks to provide safe and affordable homes to families living in inadequate conditions. Under the plan, each house will be built on a modest plot, equipped with basic amenities, and allocated to eligible beneficiaries identified through a transparent selection process.
State officials expect the construction to be completed in phases over the next five years, creating thousands of jobs in the local construction sector. The initiative aligns with the central government's broader goal of achieving 'Housing for All' and is projected to improve living standards for millions of residents.
Both leaders emphasized the government's commitment to social welfare and inclusive development, urging local bodies and private partners to cooperate for timely execution. The foundation ceremony concluded with a symbolic laying of the first stone, signaling the start of the ambitious housing drive.
