- The mega project to trigger social and economic development beyond the residential townships
Anantapur: The district is all set to witness 1,045 housing townships which will accommodate 2.2 lakh families involving about 10 lakh population.
This mega project is expected to trigger social and economic development spilling beyond the residential townships and large number of traders, business and service sector personnel are going to find new livelihood potential resulting in creation of satellite towns and Greater Anantapur Municipal Corporation.
A festive spirit pervades the entire district among 2 lakh odd stakeholders and their families. Allotment of house sites and building of houses are going to become a reality in the next six to 12 months. The challenges before the authorities in all the 63 mandals in the district is building of water supply infrastructure, roads to the housing colonies, extension of power supply to the new townships and introduction and redefining of new bus routes.
These colonies are expected to generate new self-employment avenues and provide massive work opportunities for skilled workers like electricians, plumbers, electronic gadgets technicians, provisional retail sellers and vegetable vendors etc. As many as 1,003 gram panchayats are going to accommodate 1,045 new residential townships with an average residential potential of 2,000 families in every township or more.
District Collector Gandham Chandrudu told The Hans India that people are sensing newness in the air with the lifetime dream of an 'own house' becoming a reality very soon. Each of the new houses to be built by the government include a bedroom, a hall, kitchen and a verandah apart from bathroom and latrine. The houses will have ventilators and windows for a healthy living. The housing townships will have well laid roads, drainage system and extensive green cover with massive tree plantation.
