What is Antyodaya Gruha Yojana?

The housing scheme aims to provide pucca house to all the citizens of Odisha, who are living in rural areas. The Odisha Government has introduced the Odisha Antyodaya Gruha Yojana. With the help of this scheme, the Odisha state government will help those citizens, who are financially weak.

The main objective of launching the Antyodaya Gruha Yojana is to uplift the social status and standard of living of the citizens of Odisha who are living in kutcha houses. This scheme will make sure that all the citizens of Odisha state will live in a pucca and properly constructed house rather than living in the kutcha house.

Under Antyodaya Gruha Yojana, special incentive is paid to beneficiaries of any rural housing scheme for early completion of house. The financial benefits under the scheme will be transferred directly to the bank account of the beneficiaries through the DBT process. The budgetary provision of Rs 2,603 crore was set up by the Odisha government under the scheme.
