Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
In a major step towards housing for all, Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini on Monday handed over ‘Interim’ ownership certificates under the Mukhyamantri Shehri Awas Yojana and plot allotment letters under the Mukhyamantri Gramin Awas Yojana 2.0 to thousands of beneficiaries at a state-level programme held in Panchkula.
Reaffirming the government’s commitment, the Chief Minister said, no poor family in Haryana will remain homeless, underscoring the resolve of the Double-Engine Government to ensure inclusive growth.
The Chief Minister informed that today, 1,144 beneficiaries in Sector-23, Jagadhri received interim ownership certificates under Mukhyamantri Shehri Awas Yojana, while 3,884 rural beneficiaries received plot allotment letters across 58 villages under the Mukhyamantri Gramin Awas Yojana 2.0. A home is more than shelter, it is a dream, a source of dignity and security.
Saini emphasized that these initiatives go beyond housing construction, they reflect the broader goal of empowering the weakest segments of society. Beneficiaries were identified transparently, ensuring that only the deserving beneficiaries get the benefit. No favoritism, no recommendations were made, just need-based assistance was provided, he stated, describing it as a milestone in transparent and accountable governance.
The Chief Minister also assured that no irregularities or corruption were allowed in the implementation process. All data and procedures have been kept digital and transparent, and beneficiaries were selected entirely on merit.
Highlighting the role of a double-engine government, the Chief Minister said, We have kept our promise, land has been provided, and financial assistance has been extended for house construction. This has only been possible due to strong coordination between the Centre and the State.
Sharing the key achievements, Saini said that under the first phase of the Mukhyamantri Shehri Awas Yojana, 15,256 families in 14 cities were already allotted 30-square-yard plots. A Rs. 2.5 lakh subsidy per household is being provided under PMAY–Urban 2.0 for house construction. Besides this, in rural areas, under Mukhyamantri Gramin Awas Yojana–2.0, the process to allot plots to 1.58 lakh applicants in 561 villages is underway. Furthermore, Rural beneficiaries will receive Rs. 1.38 lakh under PMAY–Gramin, Rs. 12,000 for toilets under Swachh Bharat Mission, and 90 days of unskilled labor wages under MGNREGA.
He further shared that under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin, so far, 69,150 houses have been built in rural areas with Rs. 579 crore in assistance, while 77,900 houses have been constructed in urban areas under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Shehri with Rs.1,650 crore support.
The Chief Minister said the state government has ushered in a new era of development, transforming not just housing, but also bringing revolutionary improvements in education, healthcare, employment, and basic infrastructure. Youth are becoming self-reliant, women feel safer, and farmers are more prosperous. This is just the beginning. Our goal is that no family in Haryana should be without a roof over their head, he said.
