Taking care
The J & K administration under the policy of housing for all is trying to help all those families who don’t have a shelter to live.
Recently LG Manoj Sinha transferred instalments under this scheme directly to the bank accounts of beneficiaries.
He maintained that dedicated efforts are being made to fill the gap between policies and implementation. Basic needs like electricity, toilet, drinking water, LPG connection and other facilities for the PMAY-G houses are being met through convergence of other government schemes.
He highlighted the major role of the Rural Development Department and Deputy Commissioners in formulating precise Statistics for effective implementation of welfare schemes.
The Chief Secretary, called for collecting realistic data of left-out eligible beneficiaries of PMAY-G followed by corrective measures to realize the goal of ‘Housing for all’. He further asked the district administrations to make district-wise compendium of houses being provided under the scheme.
