Some feel that the prices are on the higher side
The Jagananna Smart Township coming up near Dharmavaram looks like a smart move by the State government to provide affordable, fully developed housing plots to the middle-class population of Anantapur at a strategically convenient location. The layout is 3 km from the Dharmavaram town and 6 km to Marur Toll Plaza on National Highway No.44 connecting Bengaluru with Hyderabad.
The State government proposes to sell 55 acres divided into 1,272 plots of four sizes after development and pocket ₹159.5 crore. The estimated development cost of the entire layout is ₹106 crore, says Anantapur Hindupur Urban Development Authority Chairman Mahalakshmi Srinivas. Tenders for developing the layout have been floated with an estimated cost of ₹60 crore and an additional ₹6 crore has been budgeted for other administrative expenses.
On January 18, there will be reverse tendering for the development of plots and AHUDA expects to strike a good deal, which will significantly reduce its expenditure.

The highlight of every edition of the Whitefield Art Collective is the Kala Car, an exhibit that showcases the creative and artistic prowess of art students. Over the years, this clever play on words has titled vehicles that have either been rescued from the scrap yard or sponsored or auctioned or all of the above.
