Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that 350,000 additional houses under the Prime Minister Awas Yojana have been approved for Assam.
Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed that the central government has cleared an additional 350,000 housing units under the Prime Minister Awas Yojana for the state. The approval aims to accelerate the provision of affordable homes for low‑income families across Assam.
The scheme, launched nationally to address housing shortages, will now be implemented in Assam with the newly sanctioned units. State officials are expected to coordinate with central agencies to allocate the houses to eligible beneficiaries.
While detailed timelines for construction and allocation were not disclosed, the announcement signals a significant boost to the state's housing agenda and aligns with broader efforts to improve living standards in rural and urban areas.
The PM Awas Yojana, a flagship housing program, targets millions of households nationwide. Assam's inclusion of 3.5 lakh new homes adds to the cumulative national target and reflects the state's commitment to leveraging central schemes for local development.
Further information on eligibility criteria and rollout phases will be released by the Assam Housing Department in the coming weeks.
