Early Times Report

Jammu, Dec 24: BJP MLA Marh Surinder Kumar today asserted that the transformative policies of the Modi Government have been instrumental in bringing relief and succour to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. This was stated by him during an informative awareness camp to spread awareness about Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban (PMAY-U) at Municipal Office Gho Manhsan to provide affordable housing for the urban poor. The event was attended by Jammu and Kashmir Housing Board's Meenu Mahajan, Municipal Committee Executive Officer Dev Raj, Jammu Border Area Incharge BJP Rajinder Singh Chib, and former Councilor Manohar Lal Bhagat and many other prominent local personalities.
MLA Marh mentioned that the people of Jammu and Kashmir have been reaping the benefits of Central-sponsored Government schemes. He maintained that more than 9,000 landless people have been provided land under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), further contributing to the Government’s commitment to improving the lives and housing conditions of its citizens. He asserted that the present Government is committed to provide five marlas land under the PMAY scheme to those who have not his own land in Jammu and Kashmir. He underlined the significant transformation in governance and the administration of Jammu and Kashmir following the abrogation of Article 370, asserting that the Government is now actively aligning its policies with the aspirations and needs of the common masses.The senior BJP leader emphasized that the policies of Modi Government have not only brought development but have also ushered in a sense of inclusivity and empowerment among the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The region is witnessing rapid progress in various sectors, and its residents are experiencing a brighter future.
Speaking on the occasion, MLA said decision by PM Modi Govt to facilitate the construction of 3 crore homes across rural and urban areas under PMAY has set the tone for the next 5 years in terms of the Government’s priorities towards sustaining Housing and Infrastructural growth.This move augurs well for the affordable housing segment which could well be primed for a revival, especially after witnessing subdued demand in the past few quarters, he said."Apart from facilitating home ownership at the grassroot level, we also expect this to provide a boost to the local economies owing to the impending infrastructural development in the forthcoming months and years," he added.
MLA Marh further said that the increased allocation of funds for a wider coverage under PMAY signals the government’s continued commitment to meet the housing needs of the poor. At the same time, it will steer construction activity in the public sector. At a time when residential activity is witnessing a steady traction across larger markets, the government’s push only adds to buoy the market sentiment.
MLA Marh claimed that decision to construct an additional 3 crore houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in the very first cabinet meeting shows the intent of the new government to continue with a welfare approach, indicating that measures to boost housing demand would be among the top priorities. This initiative will not only provide shelter to the poor and the middle class but also generate employment and stimulate the economy,” said MLA. “As the real estate sector is the second largest employer in the country, the extension of the PMAY scheme will have a ripple effect on employment and economic growth indices. The construction of urban-rural houses in the backdrop of last-mile connectivity being established under mega infrastructure projects will allow us to explore a multitude of new untapped real estate markets,” he said.
