Bihar: Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana bringing defining change in people's lives

Muzaffarpur residents like Sudhir Kumar Chakraborty credit PM Modi's PMAY for dignified living, Ujjwala gas, and Ayushman Bharat benefits.

"There has never been any other PM who has taken care of the poor like this – Sudhir Chakraborty"

Muzaffarpur, June 24

The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is bringing defining and dramatic change in the lives of poor and downtrodden sections, across the country, who do not have a house of their own. Many residents of Bihar’s Muzaffarpur are benefiting from the scheme.

Sudhir Kumar Chakraborty is one such resident of Muzaffarpur who has become the owner of a pucca house and is now living a dignified life. For this, he and his family are thanking the Prime Minister copiously.

Sudhir Kumar Chakraborty and his wife Mithu Chakraborty, speaking to IANS, shared the transitional change in their lives and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the help they received for building their own house under the scheme. They said that the construction of their house under PMAY started in 2016 and was completed in 2017. Before this, they used to live in a dilapidated asbestos house.

“Our house used to get filled up with water, forcing us to stay awake the whole night. People in the colony used to look at us differently. After getting a house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, all our problems were resolved. Now we also live a respectable life,” they said.

Sudhir Chakraborty further said that they have not only got a house but are also getting gas under the Ujjwala Yojana, free food grains and also the Ayushman Bharat card, under which treatment worth Rs 5 lakh can be availed.

“There are four members in my family, all four have Ayushman cards and we can get treatment up to Rs 5 lakh for free,” he said.

Expressing gratitude to the government, he said, “There has never been any other Prime Minister who has taken care of the poor like this. We are very grateful and wish that such a Prime Minister should always be there.”

According to official estimates, the Union Rural Development Ministry has allotted 5.20 lakh houses in Bihar under the scheme for the financial year 2025-26.

This is truly heartwarming to see! PMAY is changing lives in Bihar where housing has been a major issue for decades. My cousin in Gaya also got a house last year - the happiness on his face was priceless. More power to such schemes! 🇮🇳

While the scheme is good, implementation needs more transparency. In my village near Patna, many deserving families are still waiting while some politically connected people got houses first. The idea is noble but execution could be better monitored.

The combination of PMAY, Ujjwala and Ayushman Bharat is transforming rural India. When basic needs like shelter, cooking gas and healthcare are taken care of, people can focus on education and livelihood. Bihar especially needed this push!

My parents are government teachers in Bihar and they say the biggest change they've seen is in the confidence of students whose families got these homes. When children have stable housing, their school performance improves dramatically. 👏

The real test will be maintenance of these houses. I hope the government also provides guidance on upkeep. In our area, some PMAY houses already need repairs but people don't know how to maintain concrete structures properly.

So happy to see Bihar progressing! For too long our state was left behind in development. These schemes are giving people their basic rights with dignity. The Chakraborty family's story brought tears to my eyes - every Indian deserves this security.
