Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that complaints towards mismanagement in Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (PMAY) can be lodged through 181 at CM Helpline. He mentioned that the list of selected beneficiaries will be pasted in gram panchayat offices. Chouhan was speaking during the House Allotment Sanction letter distribution programme held at Manawar of district Dhar to distribute House allotment sanction letters to 31 thousand houseless persons of 4 districts.
He said that now nobody will be left houseless in the state. By enacting law in the state, land will be provided to each houseless person to construct house. If need arises, private land will be purchased to give land rights to the houseless persons. As per the intention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, house arrangements will be made for all till 2022. He further mentioned that mismanagement in implementation of this scheme will not be tolerated and culprits will not be spared at any cost. In case of complaints, stern action will be taken against the concerned persons. Scheme will be implemented transparently.
Union Minister for Rural Development Narendra Singh Tomar said that works in the leadership of the Chouhan regarding upliftment of poor are being undertaken on priority. He further stated that Madhya Pradesh is leading in the country in implementation of Pradhanmantri Awas Yojna. A target has been set to construct one crore houses in the country in the next three years. A total of 11.78 lakh houses will be constructed in Madhya Pradesh in next three years. As per the prescribed norms houses will be allotted to SC/ST families from the total target. Beneficiaries are being selected on the basis of socio-economic status and caste census.
State’s Minster for Panchayat and Rural Development Gopal Bhargava informed that the state was not getting the sufficient amount for house construction from the Union Government in previous years. Now sufficient amount is being provided under the scheme implemented by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
