In the heart of Surajpur district, Chhattisgarh, a simple family’s dream of a sturdy home has come true, thanks to the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Kali Charan, a resident of Manpur, saw his life change dramatically when he received a pucca house under this flagship scheme. The joy multiplied when Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai made a surprise visit to his new home, inspecting the construction and sharing heartfelt moments with the family.
Chief Minister Sai, on a two-day tour of the district, chose to personally review Kali Charan’s residence, built meticulously under the PM Awas Yojana. Stepping into the modest yet solid home, he praised its quality and design. ‘Seeing this house fills me with pride,’ he remarked, engaging warmly with the family members. Kali Charan’s daughter, overcome with emotion during the meeting, symbolized the deep gratitude felt by many beneficiaries.
For years, the family endured the hardships of a thatched, leaky roof that turned every monsoon into a nightmare. Rainwater dripped relentlessly, making life precarious and uncomfortable. Now, with walls of brick and a secure roof overhead, they breathe easier. Kali Charan expressed profound thanks to the Chief Minister and the government, calling the scheme a lifeline that turned their struggles into stability.
The Chief Minister’s office highlighted on social media how the once-fragile dwelling now stands as a beacon of safety, with happiness radiating from every corner. Over 26 lakh houses have been approved under the scheme in Chhattisgarh, with more than 17 lakh completed, underscoring the state’s commitment to housing the underprivileged.
This visit isn’t just a photo-op; it’s a testament to governance reaching the grassroots. As CM Sai reiterated, providing every poor family with a dignified home remains a top priority. Stories like Kali Charan’s inspire continued efforts, proving that policy dreams can indeed become lived realities for millions.
