Case Study

The people of the Bengali colony were way more backwards than the rest of the population of the town; although they were very hardworking and involved in many different occupations but couldn’t afford a pucca house by themselves. Then came the PMAY Housing for All scheme as a light of hope in their life. They learned about the scheme through newspapers, TV advertisements and their local leaders. 

The Nagar Nigam identified them as beneficiaries and asked the local leader to fully make them aware of the scheme and prepare all necessary documents. They did accordingly and submitted their applications with other beneficiaries. Nagar Nigam conducted the survey to identify the needy and proper document verifications. Beneficiaries with proper documents got selected and attached to the scheme, and those lacking documents were informed gently to complete proper documentation and may apply in the next DPR. This is why we have beneficiaries from Bengali colonies in all the DPR. Initially, there were 100 families, but as of now, there are around 150-160 families, out of which we have given benefits to around 70-80 families. It is a matter of pride for Nagar Nigam Dewas to serve selflessly to those who really suffered a lot and were the real deserver of the scheme. The step taken by the Nagar Nigam Dewas is outstanding and makes it different from the league for its extraordinary work in the sector.
