- The groundwork for this scheme was originally laid through the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in collaboration with the Central Government back in 2021.
- However, due to financial constraints, the implementation was deferred. Earlier this year, Chhattisgarh’s Chief Minister, Bhupesh Baghel, announced a socio-economic survey which identified 10,76,545 families residing in kutcha (fragile) houses.
- In July, Chief Minister Baghel introduced the Mukhyamantri Gramin Awas NYAY Yojana, pledging full financial support for its implementation.
- In the fiscal year 2023-24, a total of 47,090 homeless families, identified in the Chhattisgarh Socio-Economic Census 2023, will receive assistance under the state government’s housing scheme.
- This scheme was launched by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on September 25, 2023. Families in remote areas will be granted Rs 1.30 lakh, while those in plain areas will receive Rs 1.20 lakh to support their housing needs.
- It aims to benefit homeless families from Socio-Economic survey 2023 and those families who are on a permanent waiting list of central govt’s PMAY scheme. A total of 10,76,000 beneficiaries are expected to benefit in the next phases.
