Modi Rakshabandhan gift ‘PM Awas Yojana’ scheme

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday set rolling a new slogan, ‘Saaf Niyat, Sahi Vikas’, about his government as he gave away over 1 lakh houses to women under the flagship Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (rural) scheme, calling it a Rakshabandhan gift.

Modi went on: “I got an opportunity to talk to women across the state today who got their homes under the PM Awas Yojana”. It’s a Rakshabandhan gift to my sisters in Gujarat

The Prime Minister was speaking at an event in Jujwa village in the tribal-dominated regions of Valsad district in South Gujarat after he ushered in ‘e-Gruh Pravesh’ in the houses to women. Over 1.15 lakh residential units have been built at a cost of Rs 1,727 crore under the scheme.
