It was more than just physical discomfort; it affected our dignity and morale.” The PMAY scheme became the beacon of hope for Rampyari and her family. The opportunity to have a pucca house through this initiative not only lifted their spirits but also provided a sense of security and dignity that had long eluded them.
“I have no words to thank the Prime Minister,” Rampyari expresses with heartfelt gratitude. “His vision and the implementation of the PMAY scheme made our dream of a pakka house a reality. It’s more than just bricks and mortar; it’s about reclaiming our dignity and breaking free from the shackles of uncertainty.” she said with a beaming smile.
Narrating her life’s transformation during ‘Meri Kahani Meri Zubani’ segment of the ongoing Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, Rampyari’s words echo the sentiments of many in similar situations, where a solid, permanent home means much more than just a structure. It signifies stability, pride, and the assurance of a better future.
In her journey towards realizing this dream, Rampyari extends her appreciation to the PRIs (Panchayati Raj Institutions) and the Rural Development Department for their unwavering guidance and support throughout the process. Their assistance and timely advice played a crucial role in navigating the complexities of availing the benefits of the scheme.
