Minister Suresh Pujari Personally Delivers PMAY Housing Work Order to Elderly Woman in Brajrajnagar
Brajrajnagar, Jharsuguda: In a heartwarming gesture reflecting the Odisha Government’s commitment to welfare and inclusive development, Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari personally delivered a Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) work order to an elderly beneficiary, Rangabati Pandi, at Gandaghora in Brajrajnagar Municipality.
For years, Rangabati Pandi had been living in a dilapidated house and remained deprived of housing benefits due to the absence of land ownership in her name.
Her long-standing challenge was resolved after her brother gifted her a piece of land, enabling authorities to update the land records and make her eligible under the PMAY housing scheme.
Accompanied by Jharsuguda District Collector Kunal Motiram Chavan, Minister Pujari visited the beneficiary’s residence and handed over the work order in person.
The initiative was carried out under the state’s “Housing for All” and “Government at Your Doorstep” programmes aimed at ensuring welfare benefits reach deserving citizens efficiently.
Speaking on the occasion, the Minister expressed happiness at being able to assist an elderly woman who had spent years living in difficult conditions.
He directed officials to begin construction work without delay and ensure timely completion of the house.
Minister Pujari also assured the beneficiary that he would revisit after the construction is completed.
The event was attended by local public representatives and municipal officials, highlighting the government’s continued focus on citizen-centric governance and social welfare.
The gesture has been widely appreciated as an example of responsive administration and the state’s efforts to ensure that no eligible beneficiary is left behind in accessing housing assistance.
