District collector of Barwani Shivraj Singh will be conferred with the Chief Minister excellence award on Monday in Bhopal for his district's outstanding performance in Pradhan Mantri AwasYojna (PMAY) Urban across Madhya Pradesh.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan will felicitate Barwani collector Singh with the award for his excellent performance in the PMAY-Urban for the session 2021-22 in a state-level mega award ceremony being organised in the state capital on Monday.
Chouhan will also award those officials and employees who have performed excellently in the state in implementing the various schemes of state and central government. The CM will also confer officials who have embodied public welfare through innovations.
"It is a result of teamwork; credit for this achievement goes to those officials and employees who dedicatedly worked with me out of their way to provide benefits of the PMAY to the people who had been living in mud houses and huts. Now, they will live in their own pucca homes,” the collector of Barwani, Singh told The Pioneer.
"Working on the concept of 'where there is a will, there is a way', we found out the solutions for the complicated cases in sanctioning the houses for eligible people keeping in mind the time limit of the scheme", he said. Focusing on the flagship schemes of the government, he continuously monitored the PMAY because it was a time limit-based, he added.
The MP Urban Administration and Development (UAD) department released the order in this regard on Wednesday stating the MP UAD department has been selected for CM's excellence awards under PMAY and PM SVANidhi (street vendor's Atmnirbhar Nidhi) schemes of the central government in which Barwani has performed outstandingly in PMAY-Urban in the state.
Notably, 66 houses have been sanctioned by the collector for people who leprosy patients who have been living in KushthAsram at Ashgram trust premises since 1980. And 29 families in the slum area AgariyaPhaliya have also been granted PM houses.
