The minister reported that following the coalition government's assumption of power, 125,000 houses have been finished, with a target of completing 725,000 houses by March 2026. He further revealed that, as part of this initiative, orders have been issued to provide additional assistance for the construction of houses for 598,710 SC, ST, and BC beneficiaries, resulting in a financial commitment of ₹3,219.75 crore.
