Raipur - A safe and pucca home brings stability, dignity, and peace to every family. When a dream of many years becomes a reality, it's not just a house but a new beginning of happiness and self-confidence. A similar positive change occurred in the life of Mrs. Manisha Shukla of Budhwari Bazaar, Korba Municipal Corporation, when her dream of a pucca home came true through the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) 2.0.

Mrs. Manisha Shukla is a teacher in a private school. She and her husband, Mr. Vipin Kumar Shukla, had long considered building a permanent home for their family, but their limited income made it difficult to raise a large sum of money at once. The old house they lived in had become worn out and suffered from leaks and other problems during the rainy season. The poor condition of the house required periodic repairs, and the limited space also made it inconvenient to have guests over.

During the 2025-26 survey, her name was included in the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) 2.0 list. After completing the necessary documentation, her housing was approved. Soon, the first installment of the scheme arrived in her bank account, enabling her to begin construction on her dream home. Manisha combined her years of savings with the scheme funds and built a strong, beautiful, permanent home. Now, her home is fully completed. She and her family are living comfortably and peacefully in their new home.

Building a permanent home has not only alleviated Manisha's daily struggles but also enhanced her social standing. Her family now lives in a safe and respectable environment. She says the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana has given many families like hers the opportunity to fulfill their dream of a permanent home.
