Prominent dignitaries including MLA Sidli Nirmal Brahma, MLA Bijni Ajoy Kumar Ray, and TCLCC Chairpersons Suresh Daimari and Mawti Brahma attended the respective block-level functions. They interacted with the beneficiaries and praised the initiative for fulfilling the dream of rural families to own a dignified home.
Adding to the day’s significance, the ‘Lakhimi Mistri’ programme was officially launched. This is a women-centric skill development initiative aimed at training women in masonry and construction work. The goal is to foster self-reliance among rural women while simultaneously enhancing the capacity of local communities in implementing housing schemes like PMAY-G.
Officials expressed optimism that this pioneering initiative will not only empower women economically but also ensure the quality and timely construction of rural homes under government schemes.
The twin initiatives — PMAY-G Griha Pravesh and Lakhimi Mistri — reflect the district administration’s commitment to inclusive development and grassroots empowerment.
