The objective of the Apni Chhat Apna Ghar programme is to provide financial assistance to eligible families for the construction of their houses. The Punjab government is committed to giving priority to merit and transparency in this project.
The progress of the project can be assessed by the number of loans, houses completed, houses under construction and timely provision of money to beneficiary families. In the next phase, the speed of loan disbursement and completion of construction work will be important indicators.
The latest data is consistent with a report published on October 22. Earlier, the report of October 17 mentioned loans worth more than Rs 284.4 billion to more than 217,000 families and the completion of 126,239 houses.
