Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking inclusion of about 6 lakh identified eligible households under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) in respect of the districts not affected by Cyclone “FANI”.
The Chief Minister also urged the Prime Minister to direct the Ministry of Rural Development to open the window of Aawaas+ Mobile App for the entire State for a period of one month to migrate the data of identified eligible HHs to Aawaas+, which will be a pragmatic step towards achieving the objective of “Safe housing for All”.
“Aawaas+ window was opened by Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India only for 14 Cyclone “FANI” affected districts for a period of one month. The process of identification could not be taken up in the remaining 16 districts not affected by Cyclone “FANI”. These are predominantly tribal dominated districts and cover all the KBK areas. State has identified the left-out eligible HHs in these Districts through State developed RH Portal observing the procedure similar to Aawaas+”, the Odisha CM mentioned in the letter.
“In such a scenario, the Ministry of Rural Development may be directed to open the window of Aawaas+ Mobile App for the entire State of Odisha for a period of one month to migrate the data of identified eligible HHs to Aawaas+, which will be a pragmatic step towards achieving the objective of “safe housing for all”, the letter reads.
