District Collector A S Dinesh Kumar shared these updates during the PM Jan Man conference held in New Delhi.

In his presentation, the Collector outlined the progress and challenges related to the scheme's implementation. A total of 25,578 houses are required for PVTG households in the district. Of these, 23,766 homes have been sanctioned, and 226 houses have already been completed. The remaining houses are currently under construction.

As part of the development plan, the district is also focused on improving road infrastructure. The target is to construct 576 roads, with 146 roads sanctioned in 178 residential areas. Additionally, 28 new buildings for Anganwadi centres, previously operating out of rented spaces, have been sanctioned, alongside the approval for 61 new Anganwadi centres.

These projects are integral to the district's broader efforts to provide better living conditions and social infrastructure to its tribal communities.
