APSHCL and YSR Housing Scheme: A Blessing in Disguise for the Homeless

APSHCL and YSR Housing Scheme

June 3 2021 was an important day for the Andhra Pradesh Government. On this day, the Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation received the good news they had been waiting for. The State government launched the YSR Jagannna Housing scheme for the poor and allocated ₹28000 crores to construct 15.6 lakh homes in the first phase.

The completion of the first phase will see the launch of the second phase of construction of another 12.7 homes at a cost of ₹22860 crores under the supervision of the Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation. This is the main project of Andhra Pradesh housing Schemes and this project is being undertaken to provide housing to the people on the AP housing list 2020.

This guide shall show how to check eligibility in the Jagannna housing status list 2021 and the housing site application status of the Jagan housing scheme. Those eligible to be the beneficiaries of this philanthropic venture can verify their names on the list and know when they can receive the houses being built for them.

The Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation has been the overseeing agency that implements housing projects sponsored by the central government and it has won many accolades for its good work ever since its inception in 1979. Another good work of the Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation Limited is to provide builders with financial and technical backup for making homes for the poor. The Corporation also monitors the progress and quality of the construction being done by the builders allotted for the construction of these homes.

The Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation Limited has successfully completed one project in the YSR Kadapa District where it has supervised the construction of 4.89 lakh homes which have everything that the corporation had promised under the PMAY-YSR housing scheme.

The Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation has a successful track record of constructing 25 lakh homes over a five-year period.  The corporation has stuck to its philanthropic policy and provided loans of ₹3 to 5 lakhs for an interest rate of 25 paise only. It has facilitated the convenience of same-day registration.

All these successful ventures have not only earned the applause of its numerous beneficiaries, but their work has also led the Andhra state housing to be incorporated as the eighth navarathna in the state Government’s manifesto.

This praiseworthy organisation of 250 employees is led by the District Collector.

APSHCL – Upcoming Infrastructure and Housing Projects

Work in the first phase of this scheme has already been flagged off. Well, 15.7 lakh houses are to be constructed in the designated land which is known as the YSR Jagannna colonies. The Andhra Pradesh State housing corporation ltd will first provide site pattas to the beneficiaries selected and listed. The corporation will also provide housing for the people who have been allotted plots of land in the YSR Jagannna colonies.

The people being allotted these plots of land are free to modify or build homes on these plots and will be provided monetary assistance up to ₹1.8 lakhs towards the cost of home construction.

The State Minister for Housing, Mr Cherukuvada Sri Ranganatha Raju, revealed that the houses will be geotagged. This means that each house can be located online.

Energy-efficient Homes under the YSR Housing Scheme

A very innovative step taken in the construction of houses under the PMAY-YSR housing scheme is the use of energy efficiency. Indo Swiss building energy efficiency methods are being used. This was originally introduced by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency with Swiss collaboration under the Building Energy Efficiency Project (BEEP) for the massive Andhra Pradesh housing development scheme Navaratnalu- Pedalandariki Illu.

With the help of the  Swiss Confederation, energy-efficient and thermally comfortable (EETC) building designs will be incorporated in the construction of the houses in the PMAY-YSR housing scheme and engineers and workmen in the projects are being trained to use EETC material for building designs.

The technology of Indo Swiss EETC works by reducing the rate of heat transfer to the roof by using roof insulation and reflective paint that reduces indoor temperature by 4 to 8 degrees and achieves a 20% reduction in electricity consumption. This technology also uses autoclaved aerated blocks, cavity walls, and hollow bricks which will reduce the net heat gain over the building. This scheme also uses blinds and rolls kept on the outside to reduce the net heat gain of houses.

Energy-efficient design strategies are also being implemented in the PMAY-YSR housing scheme and this would conform to the Eco Niwas Samhita 2018 guidelines for heat control, natural lighting along with increased ventilation for healthy living.
