Madhya Pradesh is one of the leading states of the country in the construction of Pradhan Mantri Awas (Gramin). Not only is the housing construction going on fast in the state, but the construction quality is also being taken care of. Earlier only 20 to 25 thousand houses could be completed per month, now the number of houses constructed per month has reached to one lakh. In the last financial year, 2 lakh 60 thousand houses were completed. In the first 6 months of this financial year, more than 4 lakh 30 thousand houses have been completed.
So far 48 lakh rural houses have been approved under the scheme in the state, out of which 29 lakh houses have been completed. More than Rs 35 thousand crores have been spent on these houses. Under the special project, 18 thousand 342 houses have been approved in Guna and Sheopur districts.
In the budget of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Gramin), a historic increase of 400 percent has been made in this year's budget as compared to the last financial year.
