Assam government delivers 1st instalment of PMAY to 15,000 beneficiaries

May 31: Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday handed over the first instalment of ₹32,500 each of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) to around 15,000 beneficiaries of Sivasagar and Charaideo districts to the tune of Rs 32,500 per beneficiary. The chief minister sanctioned this first instalment at a programme held at Sivasagar’s Gargaon in Assam.

PMAY is a Government of India initiative to provide affordable housing to the weaker sections of society.
Notably, there are around five lakh beneficiaries in Assam for PMAY and another eight lakh beneficiaries will be brought under the flagship scheme.

During the Sammelan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also interacted with these beneficiaries virtually, with the objective to assess the ease that these schemes have brought to the lives of the citizens.
