TANLA Foundation to build 5,000 houses for poor in Sathupalli and Aswaraopeta Assembly constituencies
The TANLA Foundation has pledged to construct 5,000 houses for low-income families in the Sathupalli and Aswaraopeta constituencies. The project, funded by founder Uday Kumar Reddy, will proceed once the state government allocates the necessary land.
Why it matters
This initiative represents a significant private-public partnership aimed at addressing housing shortages for the rural poor in the Khammam district.
Revenue and Housing Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy hailed TANLA Foundation founder Uday Kumar Reddy’s initiative to construct 5,000 houses free of cost for poor people in the Sathupalli and Aswaraopeta Assembly constituencies at an estimated ₹300 crore.
The Minister visited the rural health centre and pathological laboratory run by TANLA Foundation at Bethupalli Gangaram village in Sathupalli mandal on Saturday, according to a press release.
He said Mr. Uday Kumar Reddy had come forward to construct the 5,000 houses with his personal funds through the TANLA Foundation, provided the State government allotted house sites to eligible poor people in the two constituencies in the erstwhile Khammam district.
“It is heartening to see charitable organisations joining hands with the government in its endeavour to realise the dream of poor people to own houses,” he added.
