NEW DELHI: In a touching moment during the inaugural ceremony of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-Urban) scheme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was visibly moved as he spoke about the massive housing project that has been completed in Maharashtra. Addressing a large gathering in Solapur, the Prime Minister reminisced about his upbringing and expressed his joy at being able to fulfill a promise made back in 2014.
“Today marks the inauguration of the country’s largest society built under the PM Awas Yojana.This was a promise I made in 2014, and returning here to witness its fulfillment is a profoundly satisfying moment for me,” PM Modi said. He further shared a personal sentiment, wishing he had the opportunity to live in such a house during his childhood.
The PMAY-Urban scheme in Maharashtra has a wide array of beneficiaries, including handloom workers, vendors, power loom workers, rag pickers, bidi workers, and drivers, among others. “I am delighted that our commitment to the thousands of poor and laborers of Solapur is being realized today,” the Prime Minister added, emphasizing the government’s focus on the welfare of the poor and the implementation of schemes to improve their lives.
PM Modi also inaugurated 7 Amrit Projects worth Rs. 2,000 crore across various cities in Maharashtra, extending his congratulations to the people of the state. These projects are part of AMRUT 2.0, aiming to provide universal water supply and improved sewerage/septage management in urban areas.
Reflecting on the government’s dedication to good governance and honesty, PM Modi cited Prabhu Shree Ram as an inspiration for the government’s approach since 2014. He critiqued previous governments for their failure to eradicate poverty, despite launching schemes in the name of the poor. He accused earlier administrations of allowing middlemen to siphon off funds meant for the needy.
In a special mention of the upcoming ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya, PM Modi shared his spiritual preparations for the event, which symbolizes the end of Lord Ram’s idol being housed in a temporary tent. “This time is full of devotion for all of us. That historic moment is going to come on January 22, when Lord Ram will be seated in his grand temple,” he stated, highlighting the significance of the event.
At the ceremony in Solapur, the Prime Minister dedicated over 90,000 houses completed under PMAY-Urban in Maharashtra, including 15,000 houses to the Raynagar Housing Society. He also launched the distribution of the 1st and 2nd installments to 10,000 beneficiaries of PM-SVANIDHI in Maharashtra, marking a significant step towards empowering the urban poor and marginalized communities in the state.
