Khairatabad- Danam & Development go hand in hand

Khairatabad- Danam & Development go hand in hand

Danam Nagender, the MLA from Khairatabad is synonymous with development.  It was a tryst of fate which brought Danam Nagender , a true son of the soil of Khairatabad, onto the electoral firmament of this constituency in the year 2009, when he won from here by a majority of 14,000 votes.  Ever since it has been a tale of development and growth.  Easily accessible and with an attitude of taking everyone along Danam Nagender has slowly but surely entrenched himself in this key constituency of Greater Hyderabad.

The Khairatabad Constituency has six corporator divisions namely, Somajiguda, Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, Punjagutta, Khairatabad & Himayatnagar.  Nagender is the first MLA who was actually born, belongs to, grew up in and presently lives in the Khairatabad Constituency. Having spent his childhood and younger days in Khairatabad in the general area where the largest Ganesh Idol in the country is installed, it was no wonder that in his victory as MLA, the Khairatabad division contributed the most majority with him winning in 27 booths out of the 28.      

A lot of investment has come in towards infrastructure by way of development activities to the tune of Rs 400 Crores in the last five years.  Roads, Drinking water, sewerage lines, High mast lamps, community halls and other infrastructure has come up in the areas which were earlier neglected. Perhaps he is the only MLA who has judiciously used his MLA development funds to the tune of Rs 5 crores for various activities.  Further he was able to get funds from the CM Special funds with which special projects like the 50  bed  super speciality hospital  and establishment of ITI have been taken up. During the COP 11 event several developmental activities were executed. Using the JICA funds through HMDA the Balkapur Nala work was taken up.  Community halls  (about 17) worth Rs 25 lakhs each have been taken up in MS Maqta, BJR Nagar, Nehru Nagar & BS Makhta.  YSR Bhavan in Filmnagar is another case in point. He has also used the DRC meeting to leverage funds for the constituency.

Power bores to augument the water supply have been dug in selected areas.  Pattas have been given under various schemes to the landless.  Under the RAY (Rajiv Awas Yojana) houses have been  taken up in several locations. Old age pensions have been provided.  The minorities have gained tremendously under various schemes meant for their development.
