💨 Abstract

A Punjab Vidhan Sabha committee has suggested increasing the financial assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana, as the current Rs 1.20 lakh is insufficient for building a house. The committee also recommended including MLAs in the process of identifying beneficiaries and surveying villages. They noted that many villages in Punjab are not covered under the scheme, leaving beneficiaries deprived of benefits.
