Collectors Conference Day 2

On the second day of Collectors’ Conference held in Undavalli, the Chief Minister instructed all District Collectors and department HoDs to be prepared with a uniform format and a single Management Information System, so that their performance can be measured in a better way. 

He said that the state has the lowest per capita income in South India, because of the bifurcation. “It is time to recover from the post-bifurcation tension and come at par with neighbouring states”, he said. 

Housing Secretary Kantilal Dande said that there are 3 schemes that are currently being implemented throughout the state. 

He reported that out of the 2 lakh houses allotted in 2016-17 under NTR Rural Housing, 100% of them have been accorded administrative sanctions and 96% have been grounded. 

“63% of them have been completed, but Collectors of Kadapa, Kurnool, Chittoor and Anantapur must ensure faster progress”, Mr. Dande said. 

Out of the houses allotted in 2017-18, 1.88 lakh houses have been accorded administrative sanctions, and only 29,334 houses have been completed. Visakhapatnam, Anantapur and Krishna District Collectors were urged to complete the houses faster. 

Under NTR Rural Housing (Gramin), 72,885 houses have been allotted and 18,219 have been completed. Secretary Kantilal Dande urged all Collectors to focus more on the houses under this scheme. 

Under all the three schemes in NTR Housing, 2.5 lakh houses will be completed by end of January and 5 lakh houses will be completed by end of 2017-18. A total of 13,05,555 houses have been allotted at a cost Rs. 19,259 crore.
