To understand the happiness that people feel or the transformation that own pucca homes brings into the lives of people one must actually visit them. I have made it a point to visit the homes of the beneficiaries of @PMAYUrban wherever I go.
Today I am in Mathura where I visited the homes of Ms Monika Sharma, Ms Pooran Devi, Ms Pappi Devi and Ms Sheelan Devi in ATV colony of the city. They very proudly showed me their homes. Their emotions have been captured in the videos I am sharing.

Every house has a toilet, kitchen with gas connection, drinking water, bathing room, electric connections etc. It offers a whole new lifestyle to the inhabitants. Houses have given wings to the aspirations of poor families and have uplifted their status in the society.
These were people from marginalised sections. The husbands of these ladies work as daily wagers, contractual workers, auto drivers or manual labourers. Now they are able to live a better life. Now their children have better opportunities to get educated & do well in life.
In terms of statistics, 14,636 houses have been sanctioned under PMAY-U in 25 Urban Local Bodies of Mathura. Work has started on 5,676 houses and they have been geo-tagged for review. 565 are complete and occupied. Work will commence on the rest very soon.
