Bengal Govt introduces ‘Banglar Bari’ project to provide flats to those below poverty line

The Bengal Government has introduced the ‘Banglar Bari’ project to provide flats to people living below poverty line (BPL) in municipality areas.

The government has decided to build four-storied buildings in municipal areas to ensure permanent shelter to people from financially weaker sections.

The buildings will be constructed by the State Urban Development Agency (SUDA). Priority will be given to families headed by women and financially weaker families whose monthly income is less than Rs 10,000.

The beneficiaries have to apply to SUDA to get a flat under the project. Local municipalities have to ensure that the beneficiaries are from the BPL category and that the applicants don’t have any concrete houses.

The project will immensely benefit people in the BPL category in urban areas under different municipalities.
