a housing colony is being built on four bighas of land in Mungari village, Karchhana under the Chief Minister’s Housing Scheme
“The land has been identified and the selection of 43 beneficiaries has been completed. Govt will provide financial assistance of Rs 1.2 lakh in three instalments: Rs 40,000 in the first phase, Rs 70,000 in the second and Rs 10,000 in the final instalment.
Project director of the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA), Bhupendra Singh , said a housing colony is being developed on four bighas of land in Mungari village. Construction will begin once the land lease process is finalised,” he said. District development officer GP Kushwaha said each beneficiary will receive a land lease measuring 20×50 feet, on which the family will construct its house. Bhola Dharkar, a resident of Mungari village who supports his family by making bamboo baskets while living under a makeshift polythene-sheet shelter, said he never imagined owning a pucca house. Similarly, Raghuraj Kol, who earlier worked in a stone quarry and now earns a living through whitewashing and masonry jobs, said owning a house would provide much-needed stability and allow him to explore better employment opportunities.
He added that having a permanent address would also help him enrol his children in school.
