New Delhi: Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, after a crucial meeting with Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, provided an update on the progress of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) in the state. He stated that out of the target of 24 lakh houses set under the scheme, work on 20 lakh houses has already been completed, while efforts are underway to finish the remaining ones.
"A very important meeting has taken place. We had set a target of 24 lakh houses for Rajasthan under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, out of which work on 20 lakh houses has been completed. Work on the rest is in progress. Survey work is also going on for the remaining houses," Chauhan said.
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is a flagship initiative aimed at providing affordable housing to economically weaker sections. The scheme has played a crucial role in improving rural and urban housing infrastructure across Rajasthan. The minister emphasized that the government is committed to ensuring housing for all and that the survey process for identifying more eligible beneficiaries is also ongoing.
The meeting between the Union Minister and the Rajasthan CM focused on expediting the remaining construction work and addressing any logistical challenges faced in implementation. The state government, along with central support, aims to complete the remaining houses within the stipulated timeline.
