In October 2015, the Telangana government made a grand announcement about Dignity Housing, a scheme to distribute two-bedroom (2BHK) houses with an aim of providing affordable and quality housing to the poor. A total of 2.93 lakh houses were to be built by 2023 and handed over to people below the poverty line. The scheme promised to protect people who wanted to own a house from falling into debt traps.
The Telangana Rashtra Samithi government has, on different occasions, remarked that the scheme was introduced “with a view to provide dignity to the poor by giving 100 percent subsidised housing.”
