Talking about the scheme during his visit to Prakasam district, CM Jagan said, "The Government has so far released Rs. 1257.04 crore under the YSR EBC Nestham crediting Rs. 30,000 each in the two tranches. So far, 30 lakh house sites have been distributed to women across the state and 20 lakh houses are under construction. The government has also cleared DWCRA bank loans to the tune of Rs. 19,178 crores out of a total of Rs. 25, 570 crore kept pending by the TDP rule."
