Chhattisgarh has created a record by constructing more than 6 lakh rural houses in 2025-26. This was possible with the coordination of PMAY-G, Janman and Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana. This has promoted women empowerment, employment and rural development.
Raipur. Under the guidance of Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai and Deputy Chief Minister Shri Vijay Sharma, Chhattisgarh has achieved great achievement in rural housing construction. More than 6 lakh houses have been completed in the state in the financial year 2025-26, which is the highest in the country this year.
Combined impact of PMAY-G, Janman and Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana
This success has been achieved due to effective and coordinated implementation of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G), Pradhan Mantri Janman Yojana and Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana. Better coordination of these schemes has established Chhattisgarh as a strong and successful model in the field of housing construction.
‘Housing for all’ target: Approval of 18 lakh houses
The state government, in its very first cabinet decision, had sanctioned 18 lakh houses to rapidly achieve the target of “Housing for All”. At present, all the eligible beneficiaries included in the survey list have been covered, thereby ensuring that no eligible family remains deprived of a house.
Housing construction figures as per plan 2025-26
Housing construction under various schemes in the financial year 2025-26 was as follows:
- Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G): 5.87 lakh houses
- Pradhan Mantri Janman Awas Yojana: 13 thousand houses
- Chief Minister Housing Scheme: More than 10 thousand houses
With the combined efforts of all these schemes, the target of more than 6 lakh houses was crossed.
Record achievement: Highest number of houses built in a year
This achievement is the state’s biggest record in a single financial year after the scheme was launched in 2016. This reflects swift implementation, strong monitoring and effective plan management.
Women Empowerment: ‘Dealer Didi’ and ‘Lakhpati Didi’ Model
Housing construction has also strengthened the rural economy. Under the “Dealer Didi” model, more than 9 thousand women self-help group members are supplying construction materials and becoming financially empowered by becoming “Lakhpati Didi”. Apart from this, thousands of women groups have got new employment and livelihood opportunities.
Employment and Skill Development: Rani Mistry Initiative
More than 6 thousand masons have been trained in the state, including more than 1200 women as “Rani Mistris”. Along with this, surrendered Naxalites have also been linked to this scheme and have been given respectable employment.
Transparency and Accountability: Toll-Free and Housing Day
To maintain transparency in the scheme, toll-free number 18002331290 is being operated. More than 1500 complaints and suggestions were received in the last 10 months, which were resolved timely. Problems are being solved at the local level by celebrating ‘Housing Day’ in Gram Panchayats on the 7th of every month. Also, information is becoming easily available through QR code based information system at Gram Panchayat level.
Strong model of inclusive development
This model of Chhattisgarh is no longer limited to just housing construction. It has become a successful example of women empowerment, employment generation, transparency and inclusive development.
