Over 2.7 lakh more houses to be built in Rajasthan under PMAY-Gramin, ET RealEstate
JAIPUR: CM Bhajan Lal Sharma Monday announced that the Union ministry of rural development has approved construction of another 2,73,752 houses in Rajasthan under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G).
The CM stated that the newly sanctioned houses will benefit families identified in the 2018 Awas Plus survey, many of whom waited for permanent housing for over six years.
“This is a significant moment. Families that awaited homes since 2018 will finally see their dream of owning a pucca house come true,” said Sharma.
Of the 22.23 lakh homes previously sanctioned to the state, nearly 20 lakh have already been built. With this new allotment, Rajasthan is among the top five states in implementing the Union govt’s flagship rural housing scheme.
The first instalment of financial assistance is expected soon, as the state’s rural development department has instructed all district collectors to start disbursing funds and issue formal approvals to eligible families.
