‘Vasatimitra’ to be appointed to each hobli for effective implementation of housing schemes:Minister
Bengaluru, June 27: Housing and Urban Development Minister UT Khader said that in order to implement the housing schemes effectively in rural areas, the government was planning to appoint ‘Vasatimitra’ for each hobli.
Inaugurating a workshop on housing schemes organized by the Rajiv Gandhi Rural Housing Corporation at the Bharat Scouts and Guides Bhavan in the city on Wednesday, the Minister said that the beneficiaries of housing schemes were more in rural areas. But they would not have awareness on how to get the houses. In order to educate and assist them, the government has planned to appoint ‘Vasatimitras’ in hobli level, he said.
Apply online
In Bengaluru, the beneficiaries could apply online for housing schemes. It was planned to introduce the same method even in rural areas and the selected beneficiaries would be given first installment amount within a week of laying the foundation for the house, he added.
No new scheme
In the current year, there would be no new housing schemes from the department. Existing housing schemes would be implemented effectively. The policies being framed on housing schemes in the government level would not reach the taluk level and gram panchayat level on time. So, all the officials were directed to reach such policies to the taluk and gram panchayat levels at the earliest. The taluk panchayat presidents and officials would play a major role in reaching the schemes to the villages. The taluk panchayats should work as a link between the government and the gram panchayats, he said.
