Dibrugarh, April 2: The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY-Urban), a flagship scheme of the Modi government aimed at providing housing for millions of underprivileged citizens, is bringing positive changes to the lives of many families in both rural and urban areas.
The scheme has achieved remarkable results in Dibrugarh district of Assam, with many beneficiaries receiving homes and now living a dignified and respectable life.
Several beneficiaries, including Bhola Das, Dino Mandal, and Shyamal Das, shared their experiences under the Central scheme, narrating their journey from temporary (kuccha) residences to permanent houses.
One beneficiary recounted that they previously lived in temporary (kutcha) houses and faced significant hardships, particularly during the monsoon season. He explained, "Water would leak into their homes, making it difficult to sleep at night. The children also faced considerable difficulties."
All of them expressed their gratitude to Prime Minister Modi and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for the financial assistance received under PMAY, which enabled them to construct permanent homes.
Today, having benefited from this scheme, they are living a safe and comfortable life with their families.
Another beneficiary, thanking the government, stated that this scheme has given them the opportunity to live with dignity. They built their own home and have now been living in improved conditions for the past two years.
He noted that, while there were significant difficulties with accommodation in the past, the acquisition of a permanent house has now ensured that all their basic needs are met.
He also extended gratitude to the Assam Chief Minister, under whose leadership the scheme is being effectively implemented across the state.
Another beneficiary, looking joyful, remarked, "We have witnessed with our own eyes how the dream of moving from a temporary house to a permanent one becomes a reality."
Recalling the hardships of staying in kuccha houses, he stated, "Since PM Modi has provided us with a home, we are living comfortably with our family."
