Sudhir Commission was established soon after the foundation of Telangana state to analyze the social, economic, and educational backwardness of Muslims. Following a thorough assessment, the Commission issued a full report to the government on August 12, 2016, along with a number of recommendations.
According to the survey, 43 percent of the Muslim population in the state lives in rented housing. It was suggested to the government that it seriously consider it, and the government promised to implement a 10% quota for Muslims in the allocation of double-bedroom houses. However, Muslims felt discriminated against in the distribution of houses in the state.
Last week, Minister of Housing V Prashant Reddy and Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar held a video conference with District Collectors to examine the status of double-bedroom house construction across the state.
Following the evaluation, the government issued a statement stating that 2,91,057 lakh double-bedroom houses had been sanctioned throughout the state. In total, 1,29,528 lakh houses have been built. Another 58,350 double-bedroom houses are nearing completion. The remaining 40,651 double-bedroom houses are under development at various phases of construction. For double-bedroom houses, an estimate of Rs 19,32,832 crore was prepared.

The District Collectors have been directed to pick eligible and deserving people in a transparent manner for the distribution of double-bedroom houses by January 15, 2023. Beneficiaries were also given double-bedroom houses in several districts and assembly districts. But as per the promise, the 10% quota was not implemented, causing a significant hardship for poor Muslims.
The government is building approximately 300,000 double-bedroom houses in Telangana, in which Muslims should receive approximately 30,000 houses under the 10% quota. However, till now, only roughly 1000 Muslims have been granted ownership of 2BHK. The government should respond to this. A special arrangement should be developed to monitor the injustice that has been done in the allocation of double-bedroom houses to Muslims.
