Housing scheme provides permanent shelter to Kareri's Ramila ben

Surat :: Ramila ben Rajubhai Rathod, a resident of Kareri village in Olpad taluka, has found permanent shelter after receiving a permanent house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. The dream of owning a house has been fulfilled for the family, who earn their livelihood through farm labour.

The family had been living in a kutcha house for 20 years. During the rains, water would enter the house, and there was always a fear of insects. Due to this, the family had to face numerous difficulties. After their name was included in the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana list, the government sanctioned ₹3 lakh 50 thousand as housing assistance. This assistance made it easier to construct the house.

The beneficiary stated that now that they have a permanent house, the family lives peacefully and faces no difficulties during the monsoon or summer. She expressed her gratitude to the State and Central governments, as well as the dedicated workers who facilitated the benefits of the scheme.
