Over 9,000 women become ‘Lakhpati Didi’ through housing-linked livelihoods
Coordinated schemes drive faster delivery and wider coverage
Housing for all remains government’s top priority: Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai
Raipur, (thestates.news) | Chhattisgarh has set a new benchmark in rural housing by completing over six lakh houses in the financial year 2025-26, the highest in the country. The achievement reflects a focused push on delivery, with coordinated schemes ensuring that eligible families across the state receive housing support within a defined timeline.
Under the guidance of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai and Deputy Chief Minister Shri Vijay Sharma, the progress has been driven by the coordinated implementation of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana–Gramin, PM JANMAN Yojana and Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana. This alignment of schemes has helped speed up execution and extend coverage.
To achieve the goal of “housing for all”, 18 lakh houses were approved in the first cabinet decision of the present government. All eligible beneficiaries identified in the survey list have now been covered, ensuring that no deserving family is left out.
During the current financial year, 5.87 lakh houses were completed under PMAY-G, around 13,000 under the PM JANMAN Yojana, and over 10,000 under the Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana. Together, these efforts have taken the total tally beyond six lakh houses.
This is the highest number of houses completed in a single financial year in the state since the launch of the scheme in 2016, reflecting steady monitoring and time-bound implementation.
Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai said the achievement marks a major milestone and reflects the state government’s commitment to ensuring that no eligible family is deprived of housing. He said the core objective of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana is to meet this basic need. A permanent house, he noted, is not just a structure of walls and a roof, but the foundation of security, stability and a dignified life for a family.
He said the state government is implementing Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of “housing for all” with full commitment on the ground. Effective coordination of schemes and close monitoring at every level have helped speed up construction while maintaining quality standards across the state.
