Each house is expected to cost Rs 1.8 lakh, and a total of Rs 28,800 crore will be spent on the scheme. Construction of second phase of YSR Pedalandariki illu is to commence on December 25, As many as 28.30 lakh houses will be built in phases over three years.

The volunteers will clearly explain both the schemes and take the opinion of the beneficiary.
