RAMBAN: Abdul Rashid, a resident of Panchayat Kaskoot, block Banihal, had always dreamed of owning a safe and secure home. For years, he lived in a mud house, struggling with the challenges of a fragile and unsafe dwelling. But his life took a turn for the better when he was sanctioned a pacca house under the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) Awaas + scheme.

With the help of PMAY-G, Abdul Rashid constructed a sturdy and secure pacca house, complete with basic amenities. Abdul Rashid's new home has provided a safe and healthy living environment for his family. The pacca house has improved their quality of life, protecting them from natural elements and ensuring their safety. Abdul Rashid feels a sense of pride and dignity, knowing that he owns a secure and permanent home.

"PMAY-G has changed my life. I am grateful to the government for providing me with a safe and secure home. This scheme has given me hope and a sense of belonging, Addul Raahid said." Abdul Rashid's success story is a testament to the impact of PMAY-G in transforming the lives of rural households. The scheme has provided him with a dignified home, improving his overall well-being and giving him a sense of pride and belonging.
