25 Jul 2023 CW Team

Pushkar Singh Dhami, Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, inaugurated and lay the foundation stone for 24 distinct development projects totaling Rs 28.63 crore in Kashipur.

By inaugurating 335 freshly constructed Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban homes, the Chief Minister symbolically handed over the keys to five beneficiaries.

The Chief Minister handed over the first instalment amount and housing allocation letters to five people, out of the total sum allocated to 1061 recipients under this scheme as the first instalment.

On this occasion, the Chief Minister also distributed Rs 50,000 cheques to five people as part of the Pradhan Mantri Swanidhi Yojana.

During the function, the Chief Minister also looked at the products on exhibit at the stalls set up by Kashipur Municipal Corporation's woman self-help groups.

According to the Chief Minister, the development projects for which the foundation stone was set today will help the people of the region.

“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are moving forward to fulfil our ‘Victal Rehit Sankalp’ to make Uttarakhand the best and these projects will prove helpful in fulfilling that resolution,” said CM Dhami.

The Chief Minister stated that this initiative is also unique in that, while 335 houses were dedicated today under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna, the first instalment was also distributed to 1061 beneficiaries.

He described handing up the house to the women who became mistresses of their own house as a virtue.

The Chief Minister said, “When a poor gets a house, there is stability in his life and he moves forward in his life with a new hope. That is why this campaign of ours to provide ‘pucca’ houses to the poor is not just a government scheme, it is a commitment to give confidence to each and every underprivileged of the state that the government is determined to empower them.”

He further stated, “Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, our government is working to reach every poor. While helping the development workers and the beneficiaries, our government neither sees the caste of the poor nor the religion of the poor. Our government is dedicated to the poor, so it understands the needs of the poor very well.”

“Let us all unite, unite and move forward together, only then we will be successful in making Uttarakhand a developed and leading state of the country,” the Uttarakhand CM said.
