Out of this target, 5,01,827 houses have been registered, 4,56,254 geo-tagged and 4,36,108 are sanctioned for construction till now, of which, more than 3 lakhs houses are completed and remaining are in various stages of construction.

Minister, Panchayat and Rural Development, Naba Kr Doley congratulates the owners of the PMAY-G houses, especially those who have completed their dream home in this tough challenging situation of current pandemic in spite of facing various crisis, right from material to mason. He also urges all concerned to complete all procedures of all targets from registration to sanction in a war footing manner.

Minister Doley stresses upon forwarding a helping hand from Govt machinery to each and every beneficiary of this scheme in each step so that Assam may be able to reach the target in stipulated time and may contribute in making Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of providing a house with basic amenities to each and every poor family of the country in reality and thus to serve for the vulnerable section of the state.
