Jagran correspondent, Hardoi. The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, launched to provide housing to homeless families, has been extended for five years. According to the order issued, now under the Pradhan Mantri Yojana, eligible persons will be selected till 2028-29 and they will be given assistance to build houses.
