Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN) is improving life for the Kamar tribe in Chhattisgarh by giving them permanent homes instead of old forest huts. This scheme, launched by the Central government, focuses on Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) like the Kamars, making their living conditions and overall economic status better. If you are part of these groups, PM-JANMAN offers financial help and wage support to help you build a safe, permanent home.
Changing Tribal Lives: Permanent Houses under PM-JANMAN
Living in fragile forest huts has been a long challenge for the Kamar tribe in Dhamtari district’s Masandabra village. PM-JANMAN is giving hope and dignity by building solid houses for them. This scheme works to close the development gap by making sure tribal communities have secure housing and better living conditions. It’s not just about giving them roofs, but improving their lives with safety and pride.
Who Can Get PM-JANMAN Yojana?
PM-JANMAN mainly helps Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) who usually face social and economic difficulties. The Kamar tribe, listed as PVTG in Chhattisgarh, qualifies for this scheme. If you belong to this group, you can take advantage of this scheme made for the most vulnerable communities. Making sure tribal families get support helps solve development challenges where it matters most.
Financial Support and Wages under PM-JANMAN
When you qualify under the scheme, each family gets a Rs 2 lakh grant to build their permanent home. Besides that, beneficiaries earn wages for 90 days through the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), which offers extra money and lets you work on your house. This mix of financial help and wage support makes building homes affordable and doable for tribal families.
Stories from the Kamar Tribe in Chhattisgarh
Many from the Kamar tribe have shared their thanks for PM-JANMAN and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. One resident said, “The Central government has worked to take the Kamar families forward. I thank PM Modi for this.” Another added, “Today we have a house because of PM-JANMAN Yojana. I am very grateful to the PM.” These stories show how the scheme is positively changing lives, turning long-held hopes of permanent homes into reality.
Progress and Future Plans in Dhamtari District
In Masandabra village, 36 families have been approved for housing under PM-JANMAN. Out of these, 26 houses are already built, while 10 are still being constructed. The CEO of District Panchayat Nagari Borjha, Rohit, confirmed this progress and mentioned plans to add infrastructure like sheds and gardens, aiming to improve the area around the homes. This ongoing work promises better living quality and more community facilities for the Kamar tribe in the future.
PM-JANMAN’s focus on permanent homes with financial support and local job opportunities shows how government schemes can truly help tribal regions. If you are part of a PVTG community, this scheme could give you a chance to live safer and with more dignity.
