New Delhi: The Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana Gramin (PMAY-G) has made significant progress in Nagaland, with 48,826 houses sanctioned under the program, of which 19,300 have been completed, according to a statement from the Ministry of Panchayats and Rural Development released on Friday.
The scheme’s impact is evident in Nagaland’s remote hills, where development projects often encounter logistical and geographical obstacles. The pucca houses are transforming the lives of families who previously struggled for basic shelter, offering not just a roof over their heads but also a sense of pride, safety, and belonging.
Constructed on strong stone columns and elevated structures, these homes are designed to endure the test of time, symbolizing resilience and renewal. Their design prevents dampness and termite damage, ensuring durability. For families moving into these homes, it represents a moment of empowerment—a space where dreams can take root and grow. The scheme envisions an inclusive India, empowering individuals and contributing to national progress.
PMAY-G has also played a crucial role in boosting economic empowerment across rural India by integrating local economies into its framework. In Nagaland, beneficiaries have utilized local resources such as bamboo and lightweight concrete to minimize construction costs, while also building skills and self-reliance.
Moreover, the scheme effectively bridges tradition and modernity, ensuring that development respects cultural identities. The houses constructed in Nagaland reflect the region’s architectural heritage, seamlessly blending modern elements with the natural landscape. Bamboo mats decorate the walls and ceilings, while CGI sheets serve as roofing, merging tradition with practicality. These homes are not only functional but also demonstrate how development can honor and incorporate local customs.
“With safe and secure homes, families can concentrate on education, health, and livelihoods, laying the foundation for generational progress. This transformation is clearly visible in Nagaland, where families entering their new homes carry hopes for brighter futures, showcasing the scheme’s success in turning policy into prosperity,” a senior official remarked.
