<br />
==History==<br />
The scheme was announced in the [[election manifesto]] of [[Telangana Rashtra Samithi]], in May, 2014. 5.72 lakh houses were to be allotted to the poor across the state,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://telanganatoday.com/telangana-govt-to-construct-3-lakh-2bhks-in-next-five-years|title=Telangana Govt to construct 3 lakh 2BHKs in next five years|last=AuthorTelanganaToday|website=Telangana Today|language=en-US|access-date=2020-03-02}}</ref> including 2 lakh houses in Hyderabad. The pilot project for double bedroom houses was built at Erravalli on 5 March 2016. The villages adopted by the Chief Minister are located in [[Jagadevpur, Medak district|Jagdevpur]] mandal, [[Medak district]].<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-telangana/ghmcs-rs-1315-crore-budget-divided/article22862011.ece | title=GHMC’s Rs. 13.15 crore budget ‘divided’|date=27 February 2018|newspaper=The Hindu|accessdate=20 February 2020}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Scheme==<br />
The scheme started pilot projects across the state. Applications are submitted either online at [[Mee Seva (Telangana)|Mee Seva]], or its centers. In Hyderabad, the slums to be cleared have been identified and residents are relocated for the construction. In some areas, government-owned land is identified and houses are built there. <br />
<br />
After the construction is completed, the house is transferred and registration is done in the beneficiary's name by the government.<br />
<br />
==2 BHK house==<br />
2 BHK houses built in rural areas are on a 200 square yard plot. The structure comprises 560 square feet. They have two bedrooms, a kitchen, hall and two bathrooms. In urban areas, projects are Ground +3 floor apartments. In [[GHMC]] areas, Ground +9 floor apartments are constructed.<ref>[https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/india/telangana-proposes-rs-5-l-insurance-cover-rs-12k-cr-support-scheme-for-farmers-2529269.html Telangana proposes Rs 5 L insurance cover, Rs 12K cr support scheme for farmers - Moneycontrol.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://telanganatoday.com/kcr-dares-opposition-prove-graft-charges KCR dares opposition to prove graft charges<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><br />
<br />
===Tunnel form technology===<br />
To expedite the construction of 6,240 2 BHK houses at [[Rampally]] and 15,660 houses at [[Kollur, Ranga Reddy district|Kollur]], the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation applied advanced [[tunnel form technology]] for the first time.<br />
<br />
==Cost escalation==<br />
The cost was estimated in the manifesto in 2014 to be ₹3.5 lakhs per house, but escalated to ₹7.5 lakhs by 2017 due to design upgrades and increases in material costs. An additional ₹1.25 lakhs per house goes for amenities, roads etc.<br />
<br />
The government struck a deal with cement companies for a below market rate as a social responsibility, and paid the bills online. Steel prices increased three times over two years. Free sand for concrete is supplied by the government.<br />
<br />
==Status==<br />
By March 2018, of the 2.72 lakh targeted houses, 9500 were completed, and 169,000 houses are in advanced stages of completion at a capital outlay of over ₹18,000 crores.<ref>{{cite web|title=Hadko award to double bedrrom scheme|url=https://www.ntnews.com/TelanganaNews-in-Telugu/hudco-award-for-double-bedroom-houses-1-2-572882.html|accessdate=30 April 2018}}</ref><br />
