When Dr.M.S.S.Koteswararao was the president, this project was started.

UDA started this project with the vision of making this like Singapore. It collaborated with Singapore house construction corporation - Sarbana International (Sesma International). They planned to construct 2, 3 bed room and duplex flats in 50 acres. This township will contain under ground current wires, gas supply by pipes, fiber optic communication lines. They are going to construct the houses which comply Vaasthu. So many banks are giving loans to buy the plots here. The cost of this project is Rs.100 crore.
