Andhra lays foundation for 3 lakh houses; 175 via 3D printing
Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday performed bhoomi puja at Burripalem in Guntur district's Tenali constituency for construction of 3 lakh houses statewide under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin. Under a pilot project of the Union Rural Development Ministry and the AP government, 175 houses — 100 at Burripalem and 75 at Obulanayudupalem — will be built with 3D concrete printing. Designs withstand earthquakes, extreme temperatures and cyclones. Another 4.20 lakh houses are targeted by March.
