Punjab Public Works Minister and MLA from Jandiala Guru, Harbhajan Singh ETO, today distributed approval letters for grants worth ₹3 crore to residents of Jandiala Guru constituency under various government schemes.

At the outset, under the “Rangla Punjab” scheme, grants amounting to approximately ₹2.30 crore were distributed among 39 villages of the constituency. In addition, grants worth ₹40.50 lakh were sanctioned to 15 villages under discretionary funds, while around ₹20 lakh was allocated to the Municipal Council, Jandiala Guru.

Further, under the “Mera Ghar, Mere Naam” scheme, approval letters were issued to 107 beneficiaries. Besides this, approval letters for grants for kutcha houses were distributed to 386 beneficiaries from around 65 villages. The Cabinet Minister also issued 24,638 DFSC ration cards.

Addressing a large public gathering on the occasion, S. Harbhajan Singh ETO said that the Punjab Government is committed to the welfare of every section of society and is continuously working in this direction. He stated that these grants will play a significant role in improving the living standards of beneficiaries by providing financial assistance.

He further said that the “Mera Ghar, Mere Naam” scheme has been launched to provide ownership rights to people residing within the ‘Lal Lakir’ areas. Through this scheme, rural residents will receive legal ownership of their properties. Earlier, people lived in their houses based on possession without any legal documentation, but now the government is conducting mapping and surveys to grant ownership rights.

He added that the scheme is being implemented in approximately 12,700 villages across Punjab and is a major reform for rural residents, ensuring them secure ownership of their homes. With legal ownership, people can also avail bank loans against their property, thereby strengthening rural development and economic stability.

He emphasized that the primary objective of the Mann Government is to ensure that the benefits of all government schemes reach every eligible individual. He urged people to take maximum advantage of these welfare schemes.
