Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Friday said the government will urge the Centre to allow housing to those who have been enrolled under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) in the last 10 years.
If permission is not granted by the Central government, the government will formulate its own plans to provide housing for the new beneficiaries, he said.
The Chief Minister made the statement at a programme where he virtually released Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin amount of Rs 151 crores into the accounts of 49,157 beneficiaries.
He also disbursed the third installment of the Unemployment Allowance Scheme.
Addressing the event, Baghel emphasized the government's commitment to maximizing employment and self-employment opportunities for the youth.
To achieve this goal, the government is actively recruiting a large number of candidates for government jobs and also providing unemployment allowance to offer financial support to the youth.
Furthermore, the government is offering skill development training to equip the youth with the skills for employment and self-employment.
Simultaneously, efforts are underway to connect the trained youth with suitable employment opportunities.
