Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu announced that all eligible poor families in the state will receive pucca houses. A survey identified 63,070 extremely poor families, including those from the IRDP for two decades without permanent housing. Future phases will include orphaned children, persons with disabilities, and widows. The government aims to ensure inclusivity by relaxing selection criteria and plans to strengthen the Panchayati Raj Department by filling vacant posts.
