The Telangana Housing Board (THB) was formed on June 2nd, 2014, under the Telangana Housing Board Act, 1956, right after the division of the state from Andhra Pradesh. Earlier, the organisation was working as the City Improvement Board and Town Improvement Trust of Twin Cities, which were functioning since 1911. The THB’s primary aim is to fulfil the housing demand in the state. Here is everything you need to know about Telangana Housing Board (THB) and its upcoming housing scheme.
