District Development Commissioner Reasi Kumar Abhishek today chaired a meeting to review the progress of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana–Gramin (PMAY-G) 1.0 and 2.0 in the district and assess the status of implementation across various blocks.
The meeting was attended by Chief Planning Officer Narinder Kumar, Assistant Commissioner Development Mukesh Sharma, Block Development Officers and officials of the Rural Development Department. During the meeting, the DDC conducted a detailed review of the physical and financial progress achieved under the rural housing scheme.
Discussions focused on the status of sanctioned houses, completion targets, utilisation of funds and timely disbursement of instalments to beneficiaries. Emphasising the need for expeditious implementation, the DDC directed the Block Development Officers to ensure speedy completion of all pending houses within the stipulated timelines so that eligible beneficiaries receive the intended support without delay.
He also instructed the officers to initiate recovery proceedings in cases where beneficiaries have failed to begin construction despite receiving financial assistance under the scheme. Further, the BDOs were directed to verify the five percent survey conducted in their respective blocks by Panchayat Secretaries under PMAY-G 2.0 to ensure accuracy and transparency in beneficiary identification.
Stressing the importance of close supervision, the DDC called for regular field inspections and effective monitoring to maintain quality standards and ensure timely and efficient implementation of the scheme across the district.
