భారతదేశంలోనే మొట్టమొదటిసారిగా 3D టెక్నాలజీతో ఇళ్ల నిర్మాణం!

పెరిగిన నిర్మాణపు ఖర్చులు, భవన నిర్మాణ కార్మికుల కొరత వల్ల పేదలు ఇబ్బంది పడకూడదనే ఉద్దేశంతో... కేంద్ర ఆంధ్ర ప్రభుత్వాల సహకారంతో కేవలం రూ. 2.5 లక్షలకే ఈ 3D ఇళ్లకు శ్రీకారం చుట్టాం.
ప్రయోగాత్మకంగా బుర్రిపాలెంలో 100 ఇళ్లు, అలాగే దివ్యాంగుల కోసం ఓబులనాయుడు పాలెంలో 77 ఇళ్లు నిర్మిస్తున్నాం.
ఈ ప్రాజెక్ట్ విజయవంతమైతే, ప్రతి గ్రామంలో 50 నుంచి 100 ఇళ్లను కేవలం 1 - 2 నెలల్లోనే పూర్తి చేసే సామర్థ్యం మనకు వస్తుంది. ఈ నూతన విధానం దేశంలోని అన్ని రాష్ట్రాలకు ఒక దిక్సూచిగా నిలుస్తుంది.

बुर्रिपालेम गांव आकर अलग ही अपनापन महसूस हुआ। यह ग्रामीण विकास मंत्रालय में मेरे सहयोगी श्री @PemmasaniOnX जी का गांव है और आज यहीं देश की पहली 3D कंक्रीट प्रिंटिंग हाउसिंग पायलट परियोजना की आधारशिला रखी है।

नई तकनीक से कम समय और कम लागत में मजबूत घर बनेंगे। गांवों में आवास निर्माण का यह नया प्रयोग आने वाले समय की एक नई क्रांति की शुरुआत है।
