Zero Tolerance is equal to Zero Terror: CM Yogi
Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, requested more housing for rural populations, and the central government has responded by giving the state 1,44,220 extra houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojna-Gramin (PMAY-G) for the fiscal year 2023–2024.
After this, the total number of completed houses in UP will reach to 21,68,574. CM Yogi asked the Union Ministry of Rural Development to set aside more housing objectives by May 18, 2023.
According to the state authorities, the Ministry of Rural Development expressed support towards CM Yogi’s idea by writing to State Government’s Rural Development Department to inform them of approval. According to the document, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath demanded a new target in a letter he wrote in May 2023.
“It is informed that with the approval of the competent authority in the Ministry of Rural Development, additional targets of 1,44,220 houses from finalised Awaas+ lists have been allocated to your State for the financial year 2023-24,” the letter states.”
The letter also states that, in keeping with the scheme’s objectives, the state must reserve at least 60% of the targets for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, provided that such groups are represented in the housing database. Additionally, it is requested that the State’s District, Block, GP, and Category targets be finalised in accordance with the User Manual on Housing published by the Ministry.
Apart from this, the state is also requested to sanction the houses to the eligible families within one month, i.e. by August 13, 2023.
