The programme marked a significant step in addressing long pending land and housing issues faced by Velugumatla land displaced families. Officials distributed the pattas to beneficiaries as part of the government initiative to provide legal recognition of land ownership.
The Indiramma housing scheme component of the programme will help beneficiaries who already have house sites construct permanent houses. Under this support, 101 eligible individuals will receive assistance for building homes.
Officials said the process of identifying other eligible beneficiaries will continue. Authorities are expected to review remaining cases to ensure that all qualified families receive land pattas and housing benefits.
