Pedana legislator Jogi Ramesh took over as Minister of Housing at the Secretariat, near here, on Saturday.
He appended his first signatures on the files related to the construction of one lakh houses for the poor in Visakhapatnam and supply of 140 bags of cement to each beneficiary (up from 90 bags earlier).
Addressing the media later, Mr. Ramesh said he would do his best to fulfill the task of getting 31 lakh houses constructed in the name of women.
