Police Ka Apna Ghar Yojna was stared on the initiative of Director General of Police (DGP) Ramniwas for availing houses to police personnel and officers on good locations and lowest possible rates.

Under the scheme, house would be constructed in Raipur, Rajnandagaon, Jagdalpur, Kanker, Sukma, Dantewada, Jashpur, Sarangarh, Dharamjaigarh, Raigarh and in more than 60 places across State. Under the scheme HIG, MIG, lIG and EWS houses would be constructed ranging from 4 lakh to 30 lakh. Chhattisgarh Housing Board has been chosen as the construction agency for these houses.
The DGP said under policy of State Government for providing houses to resident of State, Police department has also decided to avail houses to its officials/employees. The SBI would provide loans to policemen on easy interest rate which would help them in realising their dream of a house.
