The administration has approved allotment of 5 marlas (.031 acre) each to the landless under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G)
The Lieutenant Governor’s administration on July 7 hardened its stand over the implementation of ‘land to landless’ scheme in J&K, as several political parties continue to oppose any move to settle “outsiders” in the Union Territory (UT).
“The J&K government is providing land to landless citizens who were ignored in the past. They are eligible under PMAY (G) and will soon have their own house. However, some influential people and their associates, who grabbed State land, think that the poor should not get government resources,” L-G Sinha, said at the inauguration of the National Tribal festival in Srinagar.
It is a historic day; Govt will ensure social justice and equal opportunities to all citizens There is no difference between our Niti and Niyat, our only aim is to extend helping hand to poorHe said that in the past, there used to be talk of policies for upliftment of the poor in J&K but nothing happened on the ground.
“Now due to the online system and direct benefit transfer, we will ensure that every single penny reaches the poor. We have been successful in ensuring social quality and upliftment of the poor in the last over three years,” Sinha said. “I want to maintain that there is no difference between our Niti (policy) and Niyat (intentions). Our Niti is to help the downtrodden and our Niyat is also the same.”
He said that every decision was being taken while keeping the poor into consideration.
