Reviewing the progress of rural housing schemes like Biju Pucca Fhar Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Awass Yojana ( Gramees), Pucca Ghar Yojana ( mining), Nirman Shramik ( construction workers) Pucca Ghar Yojana, and Mastya Jeebi ( Fishermen) Basagruha Yojana, Mahapatra directed to allot pucca houses to all 8,575 eligible families under primitive and vulnerable tribal groups ( PVTGs) category in a time-bound manner. Mahapatra also advised Principal Secretary Revenue and Disaster Management Bishnupada Sethi, present in the meeting to issue suitable instructions for allocation of homestead land to landless families by simplifying and leveraging provisions under different schemes. Collectors were asked to allot them the land where they were staying to the extent possible. He also emphasized that the landless people were really poor, and in all fitness of the things they should be brought under the rural housing scheme. Review showed that 31, 08, 471 houses allotted to beneficiaries under different schemes were completed and 1, 75,960 houses were at different stages of construction. Chief Secretary directed to facilitate these beneficiaries through field level contact, and resolve the problems, if any faced by them for speedy construction of the houses. Around 39,198 beneficiaries found eligible for rural housing schemes were landless. Out of them 2,326 families were allotted land and the cases of balance families were under consideration as many of them were staying on objectionable lands.
