Former Maoist B. Krishnaveni has received a newly constructed house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban 2.0 in Nandyal town, Andhra Pradesh, after returning to mainstream society.
Nandyal district collector G. Rajakumari inaugurated the house at Nandamuri Nagar on Tuesday, according to a report by Deccan Chronicle. The house was sanctioned to Krishnaveni under the urban housing scheme for eligible families who do not own a home.
Speaking at the inauguration, Rajakumari said the government was implementing PMAY Urban 2.0 to help eligible poor families fulfil their aspiration of owning a house. She described the scheme as an important means of providing secure housing to urban families without homes.
The case places the delivery of a housing benefit within a wider government effort to support the resettlement of a former insurgent who has returned to civilian life. The supplied report does not provide details of Krishnaveni’s date of surrender, the construction cost, the house’s area, or the specific beneficiary contribution, if any.
The collector directed officials to coordinate their work so that eligible beneficiaries receive benefits under various government welfare schemes. The direction links the housing allocation to the broader administrative task of identifying beneficiaries and ensuring that public welfare support reaches them.
PMAY Urban 2.0 is the housing framework cited by the district administration in the case. The report identifies the scheme’s stated purpose as providing secure homes to eligible urban families who do not own houses. It does not specify the number of houses sanctioned or completed in Nandyal district under the programme.
For Nandyal, the inauguration marks the completion and handover of one house under the scheme. For Krishnaveni, the house provides a formal residence following her return to mainstream society. The administration’s next stated step is to coordinate welfare delivery so that eligible beneficiaries can access support across government schemes.
