As a mark of respect, we welcomed the beneficiaries by ceremonially washing their feet,” the Chief Minister said. He further highlighted that 32 million houses have been sanctioned across the country under the PM Awas Yojana, with Chhattisgarh accounting for about 30% of these homes. “This is a significant achievement for the state. Since taking office, our government has approved 1.8 million houses under this scheme,” he added.
