TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday released financial aid of Rs 2,691 crore to 6.10 lakh beneficiaries in Uttar Pradesh under the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G). The Prime Minister released the amount through video-conferencing during an event attended by Union Rural Development Minister Narendra Singh Tomar and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
The assistance would include first instalment to 5.30 lakh beneficiaries and second instalment to 80,000 others who have already availed of the first instalment under the PMAY-G. After releasing the financial assistance, the Prime Minister said the scheme is going to change the fortune of people residing in villages in the coming days.
Launching a scathing attack on the previous Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh before the incumbent Yogi Adityanath’s reign, the Prime Minister said the previous SP government had rejected the central government’s request when the scheme was launched in 2016 and it led to major difficulties in implementing the scheme in the state.
