GHMC Development Fund Set At Rs 2 Crore Per Division
- GHMC approves Rs 2 crore allocation to strengthen civic works
- Each corporator division to receive funds for key infrastructure
Hyderabad: GHMC Development Fund received a major boost after the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation approved a proposal to allocate Rs 2 crore for each of its 150 divisions. The decision came during the GHMC general meeting, which focused on speeding up civic infrastructure work across the city. Officials said the move is aimed at improving basic amenities in all wards.
According to the approved plan, each corporator division will receive Rs 2 crore. The proposal divides the amount into two parts. One crore rupees will go directly to works proposed by the corporator. Meanwhile, the other one crore rupees will be allotted to works suggested by the corporator but taken up with the approval of the district in charge minister. This structure, officials noted, allows faster decisions at the division level while ensuring coordinated planning.
The GHMC currently has 150 divisions. Therefore, the total allocation marks a significant funding push for civic projects. The corporation expects that the plan will help address issues related to roads, drains, lighting and other essential public services. The general meeting discussed the proposal in detail and approved it with the aim of improving service delivery. Officials stated that the funding will help strengthen ongoing work and support new projects in underserved areas.
Mayor Gadwal Vijayalakshmi thanked Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for supporting the initiative. She said the allocation will help accelerate development in all parts of the city. She also said the funds will help corporators plan work based on local needs. The mayor added that the approval reflects the government’s commitment to improving urban infrastructure.
Later, officials said the GHMC will prepare guidelines for the smooth use of the new funds. They also said the corporation will monitor progress in all divisions. Therefore, the new allocation is expected to create a structured approach to civic development. The GHMC plans to begin work under the new fund soon.
