NTR Housing Scheme

The NTR Housing Scheme is a government initiative by the Andhra Pradesh state government to provide affordable homes to economically weaker sections (EWS) and low-income groups (LIG). Named after former Chief Minister Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, the scheme focuses on ensuring that every family in the state has a safe and secure home.

 

Under this programme, the government constructs houses in urban and rural areas at subsidised costs, reducing the financial burden on families. Beneficiaries receive financial assistance or loans to make payments manageable. The houses are built with quality materials and basic facilities like water, electricity, and sanitation.

 

This scheme has transformed the lives of people by improving living standards and promoting social security. To apply, eligible residents need to submit income and residency proof through government portals. The NTR Housing Scheme is a vital step towards providing "Housing for All" in Andhra Pradesh.

Here are the primary objectives of the NTR Housing Scheme in Andhra Pradesh, aimed at providing affordable, secure housing for all:

• Houses measuring 430 sq. ft. are priced at ₹7.71 Lakhs

These prices reflect the subsidised costs, ensuring affordability for eligible beneficiaries. Additional financial assistance or loans are available to help cover the payments. Beneficiaries only need to pay a fraction of the total cost, as the government provides substantial subsidies.
