40 beneficiaries receive allotment orders and first installment to convert kutcha houses into permanent habitations in Yuksom

YUKSOM, 09 July: The Block Rural House Construction Committee (BRHCC) constituted under BAC Yuksam for the implementation of the Chief Minister’s Rural Housing Mission (CMRHM) handed over the first set of allotment orders along with the cheques for Rs. 50,000 each to forty beneficiaries from three Gram Panchayat Units (GPU) at a function held in the conference hall at BAC Yuksam on Saturday.
Applications received from the three GPUs of Tashiding, Thingling-Khechuperi and Melli-Aching were verified and then approved by the BRHCC. Out of the nine GPUs under Yuksam BAC, the field verification of the applications received from six GPUs have been completed.

A Block Level Inspection team comprising of the BDO, Field Facilitator, APO (MGNREGS), RDA and GRS had verified the genuineness of the applications. Under CMRHM the rural poor living in kutcha houses will be granted with pucca houses which the selected beneficiary will construct himself since no contractor is involved.
The GPUs under BAC Yuksam fall under some of the remotest corners of the state, most of which are in steep and mountainous terrain despite which the team inspected each of the kutcha houses and recorded the GPS coordinates of the sites. The inspection team was accompanied by the concerned ward panchayats.
Former Minister Thutob Bhutia was the chief guest at the function which was also attended by the  Zilla Panchayat,  the concerned Panchayats, ADC (Dev.), West,  BDO Yuksam and the officers and other
officials of BAC Yuksam.
BDO Yuksam, Suraj Gurung, informed the gathering about the CMRHM and its guidelines. In his address he laid special emphasis on the judicious utilization of the funds received by the beneficiaries which should only be used for the construction of the pucca houses granted under CMRHM. He also informed the beneficiaries hailing from remote villages to seek the help of the BRHCC and local Multi Purpose Cooperative Societies for the procurement of the construction materials.
ADC (Dev.), West, Jitender Singh Raje, informed the beneficiaries about the finer points of the CMRHM and its importance in achieving the goals set by the Mission: Poverty Free Sikkim -2013. The chief guest
also informed the beneficiaries about the noble ambitions of the CMRHM towards the alleviation of poverty in the state.
