Telangana Double Bedroom Scheme

Telangana's double bedroom scheme aims at fulfilling the basic need of shelter for the underprivileged classes. Also known as the “2BHK Scheme” or “Dignity Housing Scheme”, it was launched in 2015 under the leadership of Shri K Chandrashekhar Rao. While the central and the various state governments have been working in providing a house to the economically challenged sections at subsidized rates, the Telangana government took the project of construction by pricing the houses in the bracket of Rs 5 lakhs-Rs 8.65 lakhs, and these are offered free of cost to the beneficiaries. The aim of the project is to provide accommodation to 5.72 lakh families in different districts of Telangana by 2024 and the housing department has taken up the construction work of 2.8 lakh units in the total developed area of 7 lakh square feet.
