CM Punjab Apni Zameen Apna Ghar Scheme June Update
In a move aimed at addressing one of Punjab’s most pressing challenges—housing and land ownership inequality—the Chief Minister of Punjab has officially launched the “Apni Zameen Apna Ghar” scheme. This initiative is part of a broader public welfare policy to provide residential plots to shelterless families, enabling them to build their own homes with dignity and state support.
With millions in Pakistan lacking secure housing, particularly in rural and semi-urban regions, this scheme is a major step forward in empowering the underprivileged through permanent land ownership. The program is expected to generate long-term economic stability and significantly reduce dependency on rented accommodations and informal settlements
