Everything You Need To Know About YSR Housing Scheme

India’s state and central governments introduce housing schemes from time to time to provide affordable houses to the economically weaker sections of society. The Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation Limited (APSHCL) initiates these house projects in association with the state government in rural and urban areas of Andhra Pradesh. This nodal agency also administers the completion of various state and centrally sponsored housing schemes under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).

APSHCL gives real estate developers financial and technical aid to build quality houses for economically disadvantaged citizens. It also supplies quality housing construction materials (steel, cement, etc.) and other provisions (water and electricity) at discounted market rates to lower the construction costs of houses for the developers. The primary aim is to provide decent pucca homes with basic amenities to citizens below the poverty line in Andhra Pradesh.

YSR Housing Scheme 

It is a flagship housing project initiated by the APSHCL in July 2019 for low-income groups. It is one of the most extensive centrally sponsored housing programs launched by the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy government as part of the election manifesto. YSR Illa Pattalu Scheme and YSR Pedalandariki Illu Housing Scheme are the projects covered under YSR Housing Scheme.

The successful completion of the YSR Housing Scheme will give the state four new districts with new residential colonies housing nearly 1.2 crore citizens from 31 lakh financially disadvantaged families. It will create job opportunities for crafts persons under 30 categories, such as painters, plumbers, electricians, masons, and carpenters. The AP housing beneficiaries will be the eligible 1% of citizens in urban areas and 1.5% in rural areas.

In addition to quality construction, the Chief Minister has promised future residents high-standard infrastructure facilities for the best possible living conditions. He is keeping close track of the implementation and progress of the YSR project. The applicants can view the beneficiary status through the AP housing beneficiary search option available on the APSHCL official website.

Thus, YSR housing projects will increase the per capita income of Andhra Pradesh by generating employment and raising the standard of living of underprivileged citizens.
