Budget 2024: PM Awas Yojana Rural close to achieving the target of 3 crore houses, Nirmala Sitharaman

 

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman made a big announcement in the Budget 2024 amid tension over the withholding of the allocation of the state's affordable housing scheme. This time the center will bring a new housing scheme for the middle class. Which will fulfill the dream of middle class to build their own house.


The Center also helps lower middle class and poor citizens in rural and urban areas to build houses under PM Awas Yojana. Money is given directly to poor citizens in rural areas to build houses. Which is known as PM Awas Yojana Grameen. Again PM Awas Yojana (City) was launched for lower middle class in urban areas during Covid. That project is now closed. As a result middle class or lower middle class are not getting any benefit of Awas Yojana.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced today that a new housing scheme will be launched for the middle class. He also highlighted the success of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Grameen project. The Finance Minister said, "PM Awas Yojana work is going on even though tough challenges are being faced during the Covid period. We have reached the target of construction of nearly 3 crore houses. We have taken the target of building 2 crore more houses in that project in the next five years. Along with Nirmala's announcement, it has been decided to install solar power projects on the roofs of one crore houses in the country. The Prime Minister announced this on the auspicious day of inauguration of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Even up to 300 units of electricity will be provided free.

Nirmala claimed in the budget speech that Modi government wants all-round development of the country. Therefore, the living standards of the lower and middle classes should also be increased. Nirmala claims that the income of ordinary citizens has increased by almost 50 percent in the last 10 years.

  The 'Citizenship Amendment Act' or 'CAA' may be implemented across the country before the Lok Sabha elections. Such is the claim of a source of the Ministry of Home Affairs. News agency PTI said so. It is to be noted that even after the seal of the President on the CAA at the end of 2019, the rules have not been made. So the law has not yet been implemented. But this time the law will be made soon. And only after that it can be implemented. Such is the demand of central sources. The Citizenship Amendment Act or CAA was enacted in 1955 to prevent illegal immigration. 64 years later the law was amended to change the definition of trespasser. Unlawful trespasser was defined in Section 2 of the 1955 Act. In the 2019 amendment, section 2 was amended to add 2(1)(b). In that section it is said that Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan shall not fall under the category of illegal immigrants.
