Gumla DDC Reviews Rural Housing Schemes, Sets 15-Day Deadline for Pending Work

Gumla: Deputy Development Commissioner Animesh Ranjan reviewed the progress of rural housing schemes and the VB-G RAM G scheme during a video conference with officials from all blocks. He directed officials to expedite pending work, achieve prescribed targets within the stipulated timeframe and ensure effective implementation of the schemes.

During the meeting, the progress of geo-tagging at the window sill level following the release of the first instalment under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin for the financial year 2024-25 was reviewed. Sisai, Bharno, Bishunpur and Gumla blocks, which recorded poor progress, were instructed to achieve the expected improvements within 15 days.

Similarly, Palkot, Chainpur, Bharno, Dumri and Gumla blocks, where house completion rates were comparatively low, were directed to improve their performance within the next 15 days and bring it in line with the district and state achievement levels.

The DDC instructed all Block Development Officers (BDOs) to ensure progress across every component of the rural housing schemes in accordance with the prescribed targets. He made it clear that progress would be reviewed again after 15 days. If the expected improvements were not achieved, reports would be sent to the department for appropriate action against the concerned BDOs and officials in charge of rural housing, as per the rules.

The meeting also discussed programmes to be organised under the rural housing schemes on the occasion of Jharkhand Foundation Day. All BDOs were instructed to organise block-level activities in accordance with departmental guidelines.

In view of the new targets allocated to the district under the scheme, officials were directed to conduct a special campaign from November 15 to 28, 2026. A statewide 'Employment Generation Campaign' will also be conducted during this period to mark Jharkhand Foundation Day and the completion of two years of the present state government. Officials were instructed to ensure employment for at least 150 workers in each panchayat.

The DDC further directed officials to prepare bills for the entire amount released under the material and administrative components of MGNREGA and submit them to the treasury.

Instructions were also issued to complete the payment process for the Rs 50,000 allocated per well from the state government fund under the Birsa Sinchai Kuan Yojana.

BDOs, Block Programme Officers and Block Coordinators from all blocks attended the video conference.
