Centre sanctions 1 lakh more PMAY-G houses for Odisha
The Story in Brief
Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and Union Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday, 14 November 2026, announced the sanction of an additional one lakh houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) for Odisha, taking the total sanctioned to five lakh. The announcement was made at a state-level programme in Balangir, where Majhi launched house distribution across the state.
Majhi said more than 41 lakh pucca houses have been completed in Odisha since 2014-15 under various schemes, including 5.66 lakh in the last two years. Of the 28.06 lakh houses sanctioned under PMAY-G, 25.58 lakh are complete. The state’s Antyodaya Gruha Yojana has been extended till 2029. Majhi also inaugurated and laid foundation stones for 248 development projects worth Rs 911 crore in Balangir.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All four outlets report the same core facts from the Balangir event: the additional one lakh PMAY-G houses, the 41 lakh houses completed since 2014-15, and the Rs 911 crore in projects. Times of India and Sambad English include the Chief Minister's appeal for another one lakh houses, while Orissa Post and Odisha Bytes omit it, giving the announcement a more conclusive tone. Orissa Post adds a World Bank poverty data reference from the Chief Minister. No outlet carries any critical framing, the coverage is uniform straight reporting of a government event. The next concrete step is the Centre's decision on the Chief Minister's request for a further one lakh houses.
