LUCKNOW: By building more than seven lakh dwelling units in the last financial year, Uttar Pradesh has topped the list of all states in the country under Centre’s flagship scheme Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAYG).

It is a landmark achievement for the state and the Yogi government as UP was at the bottom of the list in the previous year under Samajwadi Party government.

Addressing a press conference at media centre in Lucknow, minister of state (independent charge) rural development, Mahendra Singh informed mediapersons that UP achieved 85% of its target by constructing 7,71,073 houses in one year to claim the top position while the national average in the implementation of this scheme for poor in rural areas has been just 34%.

Moreover, the 7,71,073 houses were constructed in just nine months.

Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh claimed the second and third positions with 47% and 45%, respectively.

PM Narendra Modi had launched the scheme on November 20, 2016.

The states were asked to achieve the consolidated targets for 2016-17 and 2017-18 in the last financial year.

Mahendra Singh said that Samajwadi Party government had denied houses to BPL people by refusing to implement the Central scheme in the state and did not avail the funds.

When Yogi government came to power, the main focus of rural development department was to provide houses to the homeless and the scheme was kicked off under the supervision of chief minister Yogi Adityanath, and in just one year UP has topped all the states, said Singh.

Under the scheme, more than 47,000 units were built in Sitapur and nearly 7, 000 in Varanasi.

The success has motivated the state government to seek funds for over 11lakh housing units from the Centre in the next year, the minister said. Singh further said that as rural development minister he was promising that there would be no scarcity of water in Bundelkhand and efforts are being made on war footing to ensure adequate availability of water.

The state cabinet had approved another scheme, the Mukhya Mantri Awas Yojana (MMAY), to provide houses. Beneficiaries get Rs 1.3 lakh as subsidy in MMAY, compared to Rs 1.2 lakh subsidy in PMAY.

The government also said that over 1crore workers were engaged under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS) in 2017-18.

Note :-

1. UP under Yogi Governance growing at fast rate, Yogiji fully tightened law and order, keeping up promises made;

2. Varanasi PM adopted place, cleanliness, and becoming good looking;

3. All BJP ruling states are fast progressing under respective CM-s;

Opinion :-

1. Now this is called right priority. Grate work.

2. Non BJP ruling states not taking any interest, going slow in implementation;

3. Mamata wants to use her name instead of PM YOJANA, keeping in mind that BJP SCORES THE POINTS;

4. Lame excuses from kerala for all delays in implementation;

5. All NON BJP states play party politics, and delay the progress;

6. All stupid states where BJP has no power, want money from the centre, but credit should not go to the centre and PM;

7. All trade unions except BMS, on hartal/bandh, against progressive labour laws;

8. Bharatiya workers output is far below to world standards;

9. Unnecessary trade unions interference disturb work culture;

10. Here there is no work culture at all, no worker is skilled, or try to learn skills, work haphazardly, disturbing other areas around his work spot;

11. You could find here workers work finishing is lacking;

12. very high time sensitive to end and go home mindset, lunch and tea intervals are too high, total man hour, is not as per labour law;

13. Demand  Nokku kooli  (which is an euphimism for extortion by organized labour unions in Kerala under which wages are paid to trade union activists for allowing common householders/ investors/builders to unload belongings/materials using machines or their own labour. )

14. This happens with the tacit support of political parties including those in government. In Malayalam, 'nokku kooli', translates into 'gawking wages' or 'wages for (just) looking on'. It had gained widespread notoriety all over Kerala;

15.  Nokku kooli often enjoys a quasi-statutory status. The wages list finalized by the Head-load Workers Welfare Fund Board in an industrial zone in Kochi shows Rs. 200 per load of ready-mix concrete. This, when the entire process is machine-driven. Similarly, one tipper load (lorry which can mechanically tip the load) fetches Rs. 15 for the union. At least 1,000 tipper lorries are at work in the Vallarpadom container trans-shipment terminal site in Kochi. Yet another example was in Idukki. Recently, the state Power minister  publicly censured head-load workers who took Rs 3,000 each as nokku kooli while cranes installed some 14 turbines, each weighing 80 tonnes, atop 120-ft towers, for a windmill farm.

16. The modus operandi is usually as follows: At almost every industrial zone and residential area in the state, worker's unions posts "lookouts" whose task is to spot vehicles carrying goods. Once a quarry is spotted the news is quickly conveyed to all available union members, who then descend en masse to the place where the goods are to be offloaded. Heated negotiations then commence. The leaders often demand extortionist rates for doing the work. Their demand for a "right to work" is often not matched by an obligation to be efficient. So the usual compromise is for pay the union workers a certain amount for just watching - or gawking - while the work is done mechanically or using in-house workers. The employer, of course, loses both ways while making a double payment for the same work - he pays one group of "workers" for not working and another for actually getting it done.

17. Ramesh chennithala mentioned Modiji as Hitler more than twice in his articles in Mathrubhumi, and Kodiyeri calls Modji Fascist many times in a day, these unfit useless Netas proved themselves unfit demons as they never raise voice against Nokku kooli  in this state;

18. Communists loud mouthed arrogant murderers, talk the benefit/welfare of labours , but not their work culture + output;

19. The centre suggest  many improvements in work culture, the rate of out put per worker and time concerned, to increase the speed of the work, likewise many more  ..;

20. Today all Bharatham bandh/hartal by trade unions, when  they  want their welfare measures and demand high wages, oppose the rate of output per worker;

"DO WE CITIZENS JUSTIFY THESE HUMBUGS  AND BUGGERS BEHIND ALL THESE NONSENSE : TRADE UNIONS AND POLITICIANS" ?

NB:-

THE NATION'S JOKER  TWEETS DIDN'T APPEAR AS THIS PM YOJANA IS NOTHING TO DO WITH CONGRESS AND HIM BECAUSE OF ITS VIRTUE!!!
