Gaurela-Pendra-Marwahi: “I have got a pucca house under the government’s scheme, I never thought my dream would come true,” said Kailash, a resident of Gullidand Gram Panchayat, who is a beneficiary of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. The village is located 50 kilometers away from the district headquarters of Gaurela. Kailash, who is completely visually impaired, used to live in a dilapidated hut. “I can neither see with both eyes nor can I do anything,” Kailash says adding that “All thanks to the Government that provides me with rice for food and also gives me a pension. Now, I have also received a beautiful pucca house to live in.”
“I never thought that I would be able to have a pucca house in my life, but the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Gramin) has made my dreams come true. Under this scheme, I was able to build a beautiful house with the financial assistance of Rs 1.20 lakh received under the scheme and earning wages from MNREGA”, he said. He added that he has also got a toilet built in the house under Swachh Bharat Mission. He said that he and his family are leading a happy life availing the benefits of various schemes.”
