Patna, May 24 (UNI) The Bihar government has released Rs 10 crore for all districts under the ‘Chief Minister Rural Housing Scheme’ for the financial year 2026-27.
According to Rural Development Minister Shrawan Kumar the funds would help provide pucca houses to eligible poor families in rural areas, ensuring that no deserving household remains homeless. He said the initiative is a significant step towards fulfilling the vision of former Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
He added that the assistance would particularly benefit those living in dilapidated houses or those who have been left out of other housing schemes. Under the scheme, eligible beneficiaries are being provided financial assistance of Rs 1.20 lakh in three instalments for the construction of houses.
The minister said that families not included in the waiting list of the central scheme are also being covered under the state-run programme.
He said that the scheme will significantly improve housing conditions in rural areas and ensure safe and permanent shelter for economically weaker sections.
