The Chhattisgarh government is lagging in identifying beneficiaries for the PM Housing Scheme (Urban) 2.0. The Centre approved 50,000 houses for the state, but only 23% of eligible beneficiaries have been identified so far. Some districts have zero progress. The state government has set a new deadline of for urban bodies to submit 100% beneficiary names. After this, the state will prepare a DPR for the Centre. Officials warn of action against non-compliant bodies. Nine districts are in a critical state, with Dantewada and Narayanpur yet to select any beneficiaries. The state aims to build 50,502 houses under the scheme. A new DPR for 39,220 houses must be prepared within a month. (Updated 24 Oct 2025, 05:33 IST; source: link)
