Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy wrote a letter to Prime Minister  Narendra Modi seeking intervention to incorporate the creation of basic infrastructure in greenfield colonies as part of assistance given to state governments under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).

The CM urged PM Modi to include a component of the cost incurred towards creation of basic infrastructure in housing colonies under Navaratnalu-Prime Minister Awas Yojana (PMAY), and said the meager grant Rs1.80 lakh provided for individual houses would not be sufficient to cover it. The State Government had allotted Rs30,000 per unit. The government of Andhra Pradesh has plans to construct 30 lakh houses within the next year.

In a letter addressed to Mr. Modi, Mr. Reddy said the program would address housing shortage among the underprivileged household categories, including slum dwellers, by ensuring pucca houses to all eligible households by 2022, when the country completes 75 years of independence. “This nation-wide program has further progressed India’s journey of achieving UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe and resilient.”

"The government of Andhra Pradesh has acquired 68,381 acres of land and allotted house sites to almost 31 lakh beneficiaries spread across 17,005 greenfield colonies," the letter reads.
