ORDER:

1. Consequent to bifurcation of the state and creation of the new state of Andhra Pradesh, the new capital city area is notified in 29 villages of Guntur district and named as Amaravati. Amaravati is being developed and the High Court, Legislature, Secretariat, Government heads of departments, State Public Sector Undertakings and State level institutions are being established in the new capital. Buildings of the Secretariat, Legislature, heads of departments etc. are coming up in the ‘Government city’ while the High Court and related institutions are coming up in the ‘Justice city’ of Amaravati capital city area. About 10,000 staff will be re-located to the new city to work in these institutions. The entire Amaravati capital city area of about 54,000 acres is pooled by AP CRDA under CRDA Act. As the city is a new area still under development there is lack of housing stock in the new capital. It is observed that earlier greenfield state capital cities in India have been struggling to attract human settlement even after 2 to 3 decades of their development. Therefore, in order to kick start city development it is necessary to promote settlement of this category of people. For this purpose of facilitating settlement of all this category of people in the new greenfieldcapital city, a housing policy for Amaravati Capital City Area is required. Accordingly in reference read above, the cabinet has approved the Employees Housing Policy for Amaravati Capital City Area. G
