Breaking new ground, Uttar Pradesh has achieved a post-independence landmark: allotting own houses to 62 lakh beneficiaries, as revealed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. This scale of housing delivery is unparalleled in the state’s 77-year history, reflecting robust governance and welfare focus.
The revelation was made amid celebrations marking the culmination of multiple housing phases. CM Yogi detailed how the state bridged massive backlogs through accelerated construction, tech integration, and corruption-free execution. Key schemes like PMAY have seen UP complete over 90% of sanctioned units.
In rural heartlands, PMAY-Gramin delivered durable homes with all-weather roads and sanitation. Urban PMAY targeted jhuggi-jhopri clusters, rehabilitating dwellers into multi-story apartments. Verification processes eliminated ghosts beneficiaries, ensuring aid reaches the genuine needy.
Behind the numbers: A war-room style monitoring by the CM’s office, weekly reviews, and incentives for timely completion drove results. Partnerships with NGOs and CSR funds supplemented government efforts.
The impact ripples across society – empowered women own property titles, children study in better environments, and health improves with hygienic living. Environmentally, sustainable materials were prioritized.
As India eyes sustainable development goals, UP’s model offers blueprints for replication. CM Yogi vowed no family left homeless, with surveys underway for next targets.
This isn’t mere statistics; it’s human stories of dignity restored. From eastern floods to western deserts, UP’s housing revolution has unified diverse regions under one secure roof, cementing Yogi’s legacy in public service.
