Bhubaneswar, Nov 12: Around seven lakh beneficiaries in Odisha are set to receive pucca houses under two major housing schemes at a special programme scheduled to be held in Balangir on November 14, Panchayati Raj Minister Rabi Narayan Naik announced on Thursday.

Union Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan will visit Odisha to participate in the programme. Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi will also attend the event along with other dignitaries and government officials.

According to Minister Naik, out of the total seven lakh houses, three lakh will be sanctioned under the state government's Antyodaya Gruha Yojana, while the remaining four lakh houses will be provided under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).

The initiative is expected to bring significant relief to thousands of rural families who have been waiting for permanent housing facilities. The distribution of houses aims to strengthen the government's efforts to ensure access to safe and durable accommodation for eligible households across the state.

The special programme in Balangir is being viewed as a major housing initiative involving both the state and central governments. It will also highlight the implementation of housing welfare schemes aimed at improving living conditions in rural Odisha.

The announcement is expected to generate considerable enthusiasm among prospective beneficiaries awaiting assistance under the two housing schemes.
