Chhattisgarh CM Seeks PM Modi’s Aid for Housing Scheme

Raipur: In a recent development, Chhattisgarh Chief Miner Bhupesh Baghel has formally reached out to Prime Miner Narendra Modi, urging the allocation of substantial funds to facilitate housing under the widely acknowledged Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). The central government’s PMAY scheme aims to foster affordable housing solutions for the economically weaker sections of society, enhancing their living standards and ensuring stable shelter options.
In a letter penned on Tuesday, Baghel emphasized the pressing need for financial assance to support the housing aspirations of many families in the state. As per the data, around 6,99,439 families are in a perpetual wait, eagerly anticipating their turn to secure a roof over their heads. Adding to the urgency, 47,090 families have been highlighted as requiring immediate attention in the recent Socio-Economic Survey 2023 conducted the Chhattisgarh government.
Furthermore, Baghel informed the Prime Miner that the state government has taken proactive steps. It has already earmarked the state’s share of funds to facilitate the housing benefits for the families in question. This move signals the state government’s unwavering commitment to ensuring that the necessities of its citizens are met, bridging gaps and fostering a more inclusive and equitable society.
This correspondence marks a significant step in Chhattisgarh’s journey towards achieving housing for all, a pivotal goal aligning with the PMAY initiative’s broader vision. It remains to be seen how the central government responds to this request, potentially paving the way for a brighter, more secure future for countless families in the state.
