“Humne Banaya Hai, Hum Hi Sawareinge”
Chhattisgarh Leads the Nation in Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Garmin), Building the Highest Number of Houses Daily

Permanent Houses for the Low Income People is the Foundation of Dignity, Security and a Better Future: Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai
Raipur, June 12, 2026/
Guided by the motto “Humne Banayan Hai, Hum Hi Sawareinge,” the Chhattisgarh Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, is rapidly fulfilling the commitment made during its first Cabinet meeting. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Gramin), more than 10.60 lakh rural houses have been completed across the state during the last two and a half years.
During the financial year 2025–26, Chhattisgarh completed more than 6 lakh houses, the highest number in the country. The state also ranks first nationally in the number of households completed daily. At present, more than 1,600 houses are being completed every day, reflecting the speed and scale of the housing mission.
Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai pledged to provide housing for low-income families during the very first Cabinet meeting held a day after assuming office. The state government has been working with determination and urgency to fulfil this commitment.
The government had resolved to construct 18,12,742 houses, including 2,46,215 incomplete houses, 6,33,438 houses from the 2011 permanent waiting list, 8,19,999 houses under the Awas Plus list, and 47,090 houses under the Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana – Gramin Awas Nyay Yojana.
Along with these houses, the government is also constructing 33,601 houses under the PM JANMAN Yojana in tribal and forest regions and 15,000 additional houses under a special project for Naxal-affected areas. The Panchayat and Rural Development Department has also conducted surveys under Awas Plus 2.0–2024 to identify low-income families living in kutcha houses, and the process of providing housing benefits to these eligible households is progressing rapidly.
To accelerate implementation and turn the dream of permanent housing into reality for low-income families, the government has made Rs. 26,908 crore available for housing construction.
The Panchayat and Rural Development Department not only addressed incomplete houses inherited from the previous government but also approved and completed a large number of new houses for eligible beneficiaries in a mission mode. The pace of implementation is reflected in the fact that between April and October 2025, nearly 2,000 houses were completed every day across the state. Even now, approximately 1,600 houses are being completed daily, making Chhattisgarh the leading state in the country in daily PMAY-G house completions.
To strengthen this ambitious mission and ensure its effective implementation, the state government has actively involved women’s self-help groups. Women associated with these groups are contributing as “Dealer Didis” and “Rani Mistris,” playing a vital role in housing construction activities. Thousands of women have achieved economic empowerment and emerged as “Lakhpati Didis” through their participation in the programme.
The establishment of Atal Digital Suvidha Kendra in villages has further supported the initiative by making small financial transactions easily accessible at the local level. These centres have significantly contributed to the smooth execution of housing construction and service delivery in rural areas.
“The commitment made by our government in its first Cabinet meeting to provide permanent housing to low-income families is being implemented with complete dedication. The completion of more than 10.60 lakh rural houses during our two-and-a-half-year tenure reflects this commitment and the people’s trust. Our goal is to fulfil the dream of every poor and deserving family to own a home. The government is continuously working with sensitivity and speed towards this objective. This is not merely the construction of houses, but the foundation of dignity, security and a better future for people with low incomes. Together, we are building a prosperous, self-reliant and happy Chhattisgarh.” – Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai
Deputy Chief Minister and Panchayat & Rural Development Minister Shri Vijay Sharma congratulated Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai on this remarkable achievement in rural housing construction. In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister, he expressed gratitude for the leadership and support provided by the state government. Shri Sharma stated that with the full cooperation of the government and the generous budgetary support extended under the leadership of the Chief Minister, the Panchayat and Rural Development Department has been able to implement the government’s commitment to providing houses to low-income families at a rapid pace. He noted that the department remains committed to ensuring that every eligible rural family receives the benefit of permanent housing, and that the government’s target is being achieved with efficiency and dedication.
