Hope and New Beginnings: Dantewada's Housing Scheme for Reformed Naxalites

The Dantewada district in Chhattisgarh has launched a landmark rehabilitation project, constructing permanent homes for former Naxalites and families impacted by Left-Wing Extremism under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin.

The initiative, celebrated with a foundation-laying ceremony in the Jhoriabadam village panchayat in the Geedam development block, aims to provide 38 surrendered Naxalites and violence-affected families with lasting residences.

Dantewada Collector Kunal Dudawat underscored the project's importance, noting the fast-paced execution facilitated by comprehensive surveys and targeted allocation of resources. This endeavor is poised to change lives and serve as a model for similar efforts in the region.
