Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha today, July 28, said that the state received Rs 339.35 crore under PM Awaas Yojana (Gramin) and expressed his gratitude towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister for Rural Development Giriraj Singh for releasing the fund. 

 This funding is expected to significantly boost the implementation of PMAY-Gramin in the state. The Chief Minister acknowledged that the infusion of this financial support will enhance the living conditions of the people of Tripura.

Adding to this, Chief Minister Manik Saha, speaking on Thursday, emphasized that the recent release of the 14th instalment of Rs 17,000 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme would not only benefit Tripura farmers but also farmers from various other states. The official statement highlighted that Prime Minister Modi dedicated more than 1.25 lakh PM Kisan Samriddhi Kendras (PMKSKs) to the nation and launched the on-boarding of 1600 Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) onto the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC).

The inauguration and foundation stone laying ceremony of development works in Rajasthan were attended virtually by the Chief Minister from the agriculture office under the Barjala constituency.

Prime Minister Modi dedicated over 1.25 lakh PM Kisan Samriddhi Kendras (PMKSKs) to the nation. These Kendras are envisioned to be comprehensive support centers for farmers, offering essential information, testing facilities, and access to various government schemes.
