In a transformative move for rural housing, 117 economically challenged families in Himachal Pradesh's Una district have been granted financial assistance worth ₹3 crore under the central government's flagship Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) scheme.
The significant allocation was formally approved during a recent meeting of the District Level Committee, chaired by Una Deputy Commissioner Raghav Sharma. This substantial financial support aims to empower marginalized families in achieving their dream of owning a pucca house.
District Administration's Proactive Approach
Deputy Commissioner Raghav Sharma has directed block development officers and panchayat secretaries to accelerate the process of identifying additional eligible beneficiaries across the district. The administration is committed to ensuring that every deserving family receives the housing benefits they're entitled to under the scheme.
"Our teams are working diligently to complete the identification process promptly," stated Sharma, emphasizing the administration's dedication to inclusive development.
Comprehensive Beneficiary Support
The approved financial assistance will be distributed to enable families to:
- Construct new, durable homes with proper infrastructure
- Complete ongoing housing projects that were stalled due to financial constraints
- Upgrade existing kutcha houses to pucca structures
- Improve overall living standards and ensure housing security
Broader Impact on Rural Development
This initiative represents more than just financial aid—it signifies a crucial step toward sustainable rural development and poverty alleviation. The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana continues to be a cornerstone of the government's efforts to provide "Housing for All" by ensuring that even the most vulnerable sections of society have access to safe and secure housing.
The successful implementation in Una district serves as a model for other regions, demonstrating how targeted government schemes can effectively address grassroots housing challenges and transform lives in rural India.
