Hyderabad, Aug 13 (UNI): Union Coal Minister G Kishan Reddy on Tuesday urged Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to prepare a list of homeless rural poor to provide houses under the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana (PMAY-G).
In a letter to the Chief Minister, Kishan Reddy informed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister for Rural Development and Agriculture Shivraj Singh Chouhan during a cabinet meeting had assured him that the centre would support the state government in providing houses to the rural poor.
Although there were lakhs of poor families in rural Telangana who needed houses, the previous government did not take part in the Awaas 2018 survey, following which no list of beneficiaries was sent by the Telangana government to the Union government, he said.
