Smt. Kakrati Debbarma's life had been an unrelenting battle against harsh living conditions.
For years, she and her family lived in a mud house that barely stood, vulnerable to storms, rain, and natural disasters.
The vulnerability of their situation affected every aspect of their lives, from their safety to their dignity.
However, their fate took a positive turn when the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin extended its helping hand. Recognizing their plight, a new pucca house was sanctioned for Kakrati.
With financial assistance of ₹1,30,000 provided directly to her bank account, the construction of their home began.
The completion of the new house brought profound relief. No longer did Kakrati’s family have to fear the rain seeping through the roof or the possibility of the walls collapsing under the weight of a storm.
Today, Kakrati stands proud outside her new home, safe and secure for the first time in years.
Her home symbolises a fresh start, a sense of permanence, and dignity for her and her family. Kakrati’s story is a testament to how the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin has transformed lives across rural Bharat.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, millions of families like Kakrati’s have found shelter and security.
By focusing on the most vulnerable, the scheme has not only provided homes but has also restored hope and dignity to the marginalised.
