In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of “Har Ghar Ko Chhat,” the Gujarat government plans to construct more than 5 lakh houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) over the next five years, as announced by Minister Jitu Vaghani. This initiative aligns with the Prime Minister’s goal of building over one crore houses nationwide under PMAY in the next five years to ensure affordable housing for all.
The state of Gujarat has set a target of constructing around 5.5 lakh houses during the same period as part of this national commitment. This housing construction endeavor aims to offer permanent residences to economically weaker families in the state, thereby enhancing their living conditions and social security significantly.
To meet the construction target effectively, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has directed the state’s administrative machinery to make necessary preparations in advance, including land identification and completion of procedural formalities. Emphasizing systematic planning and coordinated execution, the Chief Minister highlighted the importance of timely achievement of the set goals.
The state government is dedicated to expediting housing projects and ensuring the efficient and transparent delivery of benefits under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana to the intended beneficiaries. The PMAY, a flagship housing scheme of the Government of India, aims to provide affordable, safe, and permanent homes to economically weaker sections, low-income groups, and middle-income families across urban and rural areas.
