The Uttar Pradesh government has allocated Rs 24.41 billion for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) Rural scheme. This significant funding aims to accelerate the construction of affordable housing for rural households in the state, addressing housing needs and promoting rural development.

The funding infusion is expected to expedite the implementation of housing projects and benefit a significant number of rural households.

As the Uttar Pradesh government prioritizes affordable housing under PMAY Rural, the allocation of Rs 24.41 billion underscores its focus on inclusive and sustainable rural development. This initiative aligns with the government's broader efforts to address housing challenges and create equitable opportunities for all citizens.
