The Chief Minister further said that 32 lakh houses have been approved in the whole country, out of which about 30 percent houses have been given to Chhattisgarh. This is a big achievement for the state. After becoming the Chief Minister, the first thing we did was to approve 18 lakh PM houses. Today, the first installment has been transferred to the accounts of 5 lakh 11 thousand beneficiaries of Chhattisgarh state by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
The Chief Minister said that our government is working with full commitment towards the implementation of this scheme. Any kind of negligence and irregularity will not be tolerated in this.

We have fulfilled the promise we made today. This is a big step towards social justice and harmony. He said that in the last 10 years, the central government has brought a big change in the lives of the poor by building 4 crore houses. Along with this, 3 crore new houses have been approved in Modi ji’s third term, which is making this scheme more effective.
Deputy Chief Minister Shri Vijay Sharma said that another guarantee of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is going to be fulfilled. As soon as the government is formed, 25 thousand new houses are being built every month. One lakh 96 thousand houses have been completed. Apart from this, 24 thousand houses are also being built under the Prime Minister Janman Yojana. He told that so far 8 lakh 47 thousand houses have been allotted to Chhattisgarh from the central government, while 47 thousand houses are being built under the Chief Minister Housing Scheme.
