Surajpur buzzed with excitement as Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai arrived unannounced at the home of Kali Charan in Manpur. This pucca house, constructed under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, stands as a shining example of how government schemes are uplifting the lives of the poorest.
Kali Charan’s family couldn’t hide their delight. From a dilapidated kuccha structure prone to flooding during rains, they now enjoy a robust, weatherproof abode. The Chief Minister meticulously checked the construction quality, complimenting the builders and assuring the family of ongoing support. A touching moment unfolded when Kali Charan’s daughter teared up upon meeting the CM, who comforted her with kind words.
Recounting their past woes, family members described sleepless nights under leaking roofs and constant fear of collapse. The transformation brought by PM Awas Yojana has not only provided shelter but restored dignity and security. ‘This is our dream home, courtesy of the Chief Minister’s leadership,’ Kali Charan beamed.
On X (formerly Twitter), CM Sai shared his delight: ‘From fragile shacks to secure homes, where joy blooms in every courtyard.’ He noted the scheme’s massive scale—26 lakh approvals and 17 lakh completions—emphasizing the resolve to house every needy family.
Such personal engagements bridge the gap between policymakers and people, reinforcing trust in welfare initiatives. As Chhattisgarh marches towards total housing coverage, tales from Surajpur remind us of the human impact behind the numbers, fueling momentum for inclusive development.
