Raipur, / The state government is running the centrally sponsored PM Janjati Adivasi Nyay Maha Abhiyan for the families of special backward tribes. Under this, till now more than 33 thousand houses have been approved after conducting a survey in the state, out of which about 21 thousand houses have also been completed. For those beneficiaries who were left out earlier, after making a special request to the Government of India and obtaining special permission, the state government is re-surveying them, which will be completed in a day or two. As soon as the survey is completed, houses will be immediately approved to the eligible beneficiaries.

Regarding a viral video on social media, District Panchayat CEO Mr. Prakhar Chandrakar clarified that during the Samadhan Camp, a beneficiary from a family of a Special Backward Tribe (SBC) came to the camp with his application. His family had not previously resided in Chhattisgarh; they were living in Odisha. Consequently, their family was not included in the housing survey lists of 2011 and 2018. During the recent 2024 survey conducted by the Chhattisgarh government, the family was not residing in the village. They were then residing in Odisha and had only recently returned to Chhattisgarh. After their return, their family's survey under the PM Janman Yojana (PMJAY) has been completed, and housing will be approved soon.
He explained that eligible beneficiaries in the district are being provided the benefits of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) as per the rules. Under the PM Janman Yojana, due to the Special Backward Tribes residing in different settlements within the district, repeated surveys have been conducted to connect beneficiaries. For such families whose survey was not done earlier, the survey for such remaining eligible families has been completed and a list has been prepared and approval from the Government of India is awaited.
The district administration is continuously working to provide the benefits of the scheme to all eligible families as per the rules. He told that due to being in Orissa, the ration card and other necessary documents of the said family were also incomplete, which the officials showed promptness and got the work done in the Samadhan camp itself. Where their ration card and MNREGA job card were made immediately and the process for Ayushman card has also been started. Along with this, they were assured that the government administration is with you at every step.
