With this historic decision of the Modi government, PMAY flats built in cities will be available to the migrant labourers at cheaper rent”, said Shri Amit Shah. Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah welcomed and thanked Modi ji for this decision which will further strengthen the goal of “Housing for All”.

This decision of Modi government will benefit about 72 lakh people of small businesses”, said Shri Amit Shah.
Shri Amit Shah said the Cabinet approval of Rs.1,00,000 crore 'Agriculture Infrastructure Fund' will strengthen the Agriculture sector and reflects Modi ji’s commitment for all-round development of rural India. It will provide a big momentum to the development of rural infrastructure.
