Details
The Gujarat Building and Other Construction Worker’s Welfare Board (GBOCWWB) under the Labour, Skill Development & Employment Department of Gujarat Government has launched the Shree Nanaji Deshmukh Awas Yojana. This initiative aims to provide crucial financial support for housing to registered construction workers in urban areas.
The Shree Nanaji Deshmukh Awas Yojana is designed to assist registered construction workers who have been allotted Economically Weaker Section (EWS) or Lower Income Group (LIG) houses in urban areas. This is applicable when these houses are allocated by local bodies or authorities under schemes like the Chief Minister's Awas Yojana or Prime Minister's Awas Yojana.
The scheme is specifically for construction workers who are registered with the Gujarat Building and Other Construction Worker’s Welfare Board. It's a one-time benefit per family, intended for situations where a house has already been allotted to either the husband or wife, provided one of them is a registered construction worker.
Affordable housing is a major concern for many. This scheme addresses this by offering direct financial assistance, making it easier for registered construction workers to secure a home for their families in urban settings. It aims to improve the living standards of these essential workers by supporting their housing needs.
