Chandigarh, the BJP-led Haryana government's aim is to simplify the lives of the poor and empower them, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said on Wednesday while distributing plot allotment certificates to beneficiaries of the state housing scheme.
In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of providing housing to all impoverished people, the Haryana government had launched the Mukhyamantri Shehri Awas Yojana to meet the housing aspirations of poor families in the state, Saini said during an event in Rohtak .
According to an official statement, according to the state plan, 15,250 beneficiaries received land allotment certificates on Wednesday.
At the event held at Maharshi Dayanand University in Rohtak, the prime minister handed over plot allotment letters to the beneficiaries on the spot, the statement said.
Similar programs to distribute allotment letters were also carried out simultaneously in four other places - Yamunanagar, Palwal, Sirsa and Mahendragarh, he added.
Addressing the gathering in Rohtak, Saini said the BJP government's objective is to simplify the lives of the poor and empower them.
He pointed out that the previous Congress government promised 100 square meter plots to the poor, but did not give them plots or documents, forcing these people to keep running from pillar to post.
But the BJP government understood their plight and decided to provide them with plots, the chief minister said.
He said a program was organized recently during which beneficiaries were given possession certificates for 100 square meter plots.
On this occasion, Subhash Sudha, Minister of State for Urban Local Bodies, congratulated the beneficiaries who received allotment letters of plots under the housing scheme.
Sudha said families with an annual income less than Rs 1.80 lakh applied for this scheme and today the Prime Minister provided benefits to such eligible beneficiaries.
Saini said the state government had also recently distributed cards to families earning less than Rs 1 lakh a year under the Haryana Antyodaya Parivar Parivahan Yojana.
There are around 23 lakh such families with around 84 lakh members benefiting from 1,000 kilometers of free bus travel on state transport in a year under this scheme, he said.
