These programs are not just welfare measures, but pathways to dignity and self-reliance for thousands of families.

"We have become 'Aatmanirbhar' (self-reliant). We don't need to beg anymore" - Nandan Kumar, Beneficiary Farmer

The beneficiaries of the urban and rural areas of the district have expressed their gratitude towards PM Modi.

Among the beneficiaries are Kamo Devi, Pramila Devi, Renu Devi and Rita Devi, all residents of Municipal Corporation Ward Number 20 and 40 and Manoj Sharma, a resident of Matihani block.

The beneficiaries of the PM Awas Yojana in Begusarai told IANS and said, "Our living standards have improved a lot by benefitting from the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Earlier, living in a kutcha house was a huge problem during the rainy season and winters. There was always a fear of getting bitten by snakes and scorpions."

They also said, "Now that we have received a permanent house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, our problems have ended. We are grateful to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for launching this welfare scheme."

The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, launched in 2015, aims to provide affordable and permanent housing to the economically weaker sections, low-income groups, and middle-income families across both rural and urban India. By 2023, the programme is set to complete the construction of around 20 million houses.

Nandan Kumar and Chandan Prasad Singh, both residents of Badalpur village of Matihani block, who have also benefitted from the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, said, "We have benefitted a lot by getting a monthly assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Earlier, we had to ask for money from moneylenders for fulfilling basic needs. Now that we receive Rs 6,000 per month under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, we have become 'Aatmanirbhar' (self-reliant). We don't need to beg anymore in front of anyone."

The money received from the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana is providing economic strength and respect to poor farmers.

Under this flagship welfare scheme launched by the Modi government, a financial assistance of Rs 6,000 per year (in the form of three annual installments of Rs 2,000 each) is directly transferred to the bank accounts of farmers.

This is truly heartwarming to read! My aunt in Begusarai got a house under PMAY and it's changed her family's life completely. No more leaking roofs during monsoon! 🙏

While the schemes are beneficial, I hope the government also focuses on creating more job opportunities in these areas. Houses and financial aid are great, but sustainable employment is what will really transform Bihar long-term.

PM Kisan Samman Nidhi has been a game-changer for small farmers in my village too! The direct benefit transfer ensures money reaches the actual beneficiaries without middlemen. More power to such initiatives!

My cousin in Begusarai was telling me how the PMAY houses are much better built than they expected. Proper ventilation, concrete roofs - makes such a difference to quality of life. So happy for them!

The article mentions 20 million houses by 2023 - that's an incredible scale! Hope the quality remains consistent across all projects. Infrastructure development is key to India's growth story.

It's wonderful to see women beneficiaries being highlighted in the article. Financial independence and secure housing empower women in ways we often don't realize. 👏
