The Kollam district panchayat is all set to launch Swapnakoodu, a housing project being implemented with the financial support of the Kerala State Housing Board (KSHB).
A total of 75 families from 26 divisions of the panchayat living in extreme poverty are the beneficiaries of the project. While the district panchayat has set aside ₹5.7 lakh for each house, the contribution of the KSHB will be ₹3.8 lakh.
“Each unit will be completed spending ₹9.5 lakh and the project will be inaugurated by Revenue Minister K. Rajan on Sunday at a function to be held at Kottarakara,” said district panchayat president P.K. Gopan at a press meet here on Friday.
