Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai said that the current team of the Chhattisgarh Housing Board is performing exceptionally well. It is moving forward with innovation to provide affordable and quality housing to the people of the state.

Under the PM Janman Yojana, 32,000 houses have been approved for particularly backward tribal communities, and 15,000 houses for surrendered Naxalites and Naxal-affected families in Bastar.
On this occasion, the Chief Minister congratulated and extended best wishes to the recipients of house booking certificates, keys to houses for Housing Board consumers, and freehold house certificates at the state-level housing fair.
Assembly Speaker Dr. Raman Singh lauded the work of the Chhattisgarh Housing Board and stated that the current team of the board is doing excellent work in the housing sector. He noted that the success of the housing fair can be gauged by the traffic jams on the road since its inception, with traffic management struggling to cope. He praised the efforts being made under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai to provide housing to needy families in the state, mentioning that a provision of Rs 14,000 crore has been made in the budget for this purpose. Dr. Singh expressed confidence that all Housing Board projects will receive a good response in the districts.

He mentioned that within a year, the Housing Board has achieved business worth Rs 672 crore. He added that the government has provided relief to the Housing Board and consumers by offering concessions on land diversion and freehold.
Shri Chaudhary further stated that the Housing Board will commence construction of residential projects based on consumer demand.
The program was also addressed by the Chairman of the Housing Board, Shri Anurag Singhdev. He said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, the Housing Board will construct houses in all districts of the state.
