鈥淭he VMRDA has taken up development of 9 MIG layouts in Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram, and Anakapalli districts. About 3,370 plots will be on offer in these 9 layouts spread in 450 acres.
In total, the VMRDA's 90 layouts designed and implemented in 2022 are expected to house nearly 1.5 lakh people. The VMRDA has already spent Rs. 1.5 billion on the Jagananna Colonies project. Another 500 million will be spent on advanced infrastructure such as roads and parks.
The VMRDA's engineering, planning, estate, and other wings worked around the clock to complete the Jagananna Colonies. On the housing front, the VMRDA staff and officials had a busy year. "The VMRDA has succeeded in meeting the government's goals and ambitions to provide housing for the poor," Mallikarjuna said.
