BHOPAL: CM Mohan Yadav on Saturday said there was no greater joy than owning a home, as 348 families in Neemuch prepared to celebrate Diwali in houses built under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
Addressing the beneficiaries virtually from Samatva Bhavan here, Yadav said PM Narendra Modi’s vision of ensuring a home for every citizen has transformed the lives of more than 4 crore people across the country.
“This Diwali is the most beautiful in their lives as they will celebrate it in their new homes. 348 families in Neemuch are witnessing their long-cherished dream come true,” he said.
So far, over 49 lakh families in the state have realised their dream of owning a home, more than 40 lakh rural and 8 lakh urban families. “Our villages and cities are smiling together,” he said. Yadav announced that Neemuch would soon have its own medical college, and would be connected by air services.
He referred to Bhadwa Mata as the Vaishno Devi of Madhya Pradesh and said efforts are underway to further develop the temple site.
