₹1 Lakh Prize for Naming Telangana’s One-Lakh Flats Project

The Telangana Housing Board has thrown open a unique opportunity for citizens to leave their mark on one of the state's most ambitious housing initiatives. The Board has invited the public to suggest a name for the proposed One-Lakh Flats Housing Scheme , with the winning entry set to receive a cash prize of ₹1 lakh .

The initiative marks the first major affordable housing programme of its kind to be planned in the Core Urban Region (CURE) since the formation of Telangana. By seeking name suggestions directly from the public, the Housing Board aims to make people active participants in a project designed to expand home ownership among low-income families .

According to Housing Board Vice-Chairman V.P. Gautam , the naming contest will be conducted through the department's official Instagram handle, tghd.official , and entries will be accepted until June 28 . The Board hopes the exercise will generate a name that reflects the aspirations of thousands of families dreaming of owning a home.

The flagship housing programme is being taken forward under the leadership of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy , whose government has proposed the construction of one lakh affordable flats across the CURE region. Officials have already prepared proposals covering all Assembly constituencies within the jurisdiction and identified the land required for the project.

Authorities said applications from eligible beneficiaries will be invited shortly after the scheme guidelines are finalized. To ensure fairness and transparency, the flats will be allotted through a lottery-based selection process , eliminating discretion in beneficiary selection.

The Housing Board is expected to announce the detailed eligibility criteria, pricing structure and allotment procedures in the coming weeks. The project is expected to play a significant role in addressing the growing demand for affordable urban housing while helping thousands of families achieve the dream of owning a permanent residence.

Officials have encouraged citizens to make the most of the opportunity by submitting creative and meaningful suggestions. Beyond the attractive ₹1 lakh reward , the winning participant will have the distinction of naming a landmark housing programme that could shape Telangana’s urban housing landscape for years to come.
