For any family, a home is not just a structure made of bricks, cement, and walls, but the foundation of security, respect, self-confidence, and a better future. For families who have lived in mud houses for years, facing hardships and hardships, the dream of a concrete roof is now becoming a reality. With the visionary thinking of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the commitment of the Chhattisgarh government under the leadership of Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana is writing a new chapter of prosperity in the lives of poor and needy families. Especially in the tribal-dominated Jashpur district, this scheme has emerged as an important medium for social and economic change.
Under the good governance of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, thousands of families in Jashpur district have found permanent homes. Families who once lived under leaking roofs and weak walls during the rains are now living safe and dignified lives in their permanent homes. So far, 1,12,922 houses have been approved in the district under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, of which 97,165 have been completed. This achievement is not limited to housing construction figures, but also the story of positive change in the lives of thousands of families and the realization of their dreams.
- Freedom from the problems of mud houses, a concrete roof gives assurance of security and respect
Many families in the remote forested and rural areas of Jashpur district were forced to live in mud houses for years. Leaking roofs during rainy seasons, damp walls, and worries about keeping household items safe were part of their lives. The heat of summer and the chill of winter also added to these families’ hardships. With limited income and lack of financial resources, building a permanent home was an unfulfilled dream.
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) has given these families new hope. Having a permanent home not only provides protection from adverse weather conditions but also strengthens families’ self-confidence and a sense of stability. Safe housing, especially for women, children, and the elderly, is becoming the foundation for a better life. Along with housing, access to amenities like clean drinking water, electricity, toilets, and LPG is also improving the standard of living of rural families.
- Housing construction gains new momentum under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai
Under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, the state government is prioritizing the provision of permanent housing to poor and needy families. The government’s intention is to ensure that eligible families receive the benefits of secure housing, and that no needy family is deprived of a permanent roof due to financial constraints.
The approval of 1,12,922 houses and the completion of 97,165 houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in Jashpur district is a significant achievement in this direction. These houses have provided thousands of families with permanent homes. The availability of permanent housing has reduced housing insecurity, allowing families to better focus on other needs, such as their children’s education, health, and livelihoods.
- PM-Janman is bringing positive change in the lives of hill Korwa families
In the tribal-dominated Jashpur district, the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyay Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN) is becoming an important vehicle for transforming the lives of particularly vulnerable tribal groups. Under this scheme, special attention is being paid to providing basic amenities, including safe housing, to particularly backward tribal families living in remote and inaccessible areas.
2,113 houses have been sanctioned under the PM-JANMAN scheme in the district between 2023 and 2025, of which over 1,626 have been completed. The scheme is particularly benefiting families from the hill Korwa community. These families, who have lived in mud houses for years, are now finding a new foundation of security and dignity in the form of a concrete roof.
The objective of PM-JANMAN is not only to provide housing, but also to integrate particularly vulnerable tribal groups into the mainstream of development. Emphasis is also being placed on expanding access to clean drinking water, health services, education, nutrition, roads, telecommunication connectivity, and sustainable livelihood opportunities. Thus, this campaign is playing an important role in the overall development and social empowerment of tribal families.
- The story of Paharu Ram: A journey from a mud house to a permanent home
The story of Mr. Paharu Ram, a resident of the village panchayat Pandrapath in the Bagicha development block of Jashpur district, exemplifies the positive impact of the Pradhan Mantri Janman Awas Yojana (PMAY). For years, Paharu Ram and his family lived in a mud house, facing numerous difficulties during the rainy, cold, and hot seasons. Due to limited financial resources, building a permanent house was difficult.
Approval of a house under the Pradhan Mantri Janman Awas Yojana (PMAY) in 2023-24 paved the way for his dream to come true. With the support of the scheme, his permanent house was completed, and he now lives in a safe residence with his family. For many families like Paharu Ram, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is not just a source of government assistance, but an opportunity for a new beginning in life.
- Awas Plus 2.0 will bring hope of a permanent home to the left-out families
In accordance with the wishes of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, special efforts are being made to bring eligible families excluded from the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) into the scope of the scheme. To this end, a comprehensive survey has been conducted in Jashpur district under Awas Plus 2.0.
To date, 1,02,371 families have been re-surveyed in the district. The process of providing benefits to the surveyed families will be furthered in accordance with the prescribed eligibility criteria, priorities, and government guidelines. This initiative aims to identify needy families who, for some reason, were previously excluded from the housing scheme.
Awas Plus 2.0 marks an important step towards extending the benefits of the scheme to eligible families living in unoccupied houses and homeless households. This has strengthened the hope that the dream of permanent housing will be realized for more families in the future.
- Permanent housing becomes the basis for social security and a better future
The impact of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is not limited to house construction. Pucca housing provides social security, dignity, and stability to families. Living in a safe home provides children with a better environment for learning, facilitates women’s household chores, and provides a more secure living environment for the elderly.
Housing also increases local demand for construction materials, transportation, and labor, boosting the rural economy and employment opportunities. Thus, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is strengthening the process of rural development along with individual families.
- Jashpur moves towards prosperity through good governance, bringing new prosperity to the lives of thousands of families
The achievements in housing construction in Jashpur district, under the Prime Minister’s Housing Scheme, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and under the good governance of Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai, are fulfilling the resolve for the welfare of the poor. More than 97,000 completed houses in the district symbolize the transformation in the lives of thousands of families. At the same time, the benefits of development are reaching the Specially Backward Tribes through PM-Janman Yojana, and efforts are underway to connect eligible families left out of Awas Plus 2.0 to the scheme.
Families for whom a permanent roof was once a distant dream now see prosperity and a renewed confidence in the future. These permanent homes being built in Jashpur are not just houses, but a strong foundation for the hopes, self-respect, and a secure future of poor families. Through the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Jashpur district is steadily progressing towards housing security, social empowerment, and inclusive development.
