Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu launched the Valmiki Housing Scheme during a Valmiki Jayanti programme at the Valmiki Temple in Krishna Nagar, Shimla, on Monday . Under the scheme, eligible Valmiki families with an annual income of less than Rs 2.5 lakh will receive Rs 3 lakh in financial assistance to build houses on their own land.
CM Sukhu attended the event as the chief guest and paid obeisance at the temple, offering a silver crown. His supporters also weighed him against 65 kg of laddoos during the programme.
Extending greetings on Maharishi Valmiki Jayanti, the Chief Minister urged people to follow the sage’s teachings and ideals. He said sage Valmiki’s life showed that a person’s greatness was shaped by their deeds and thoughts.
CM Sukhu also announced that a survey of houses in Krishna Nagar would be conducted, with completion targeted for November 28.
