Are you facing challenges in securing a permanent home in Karnataka due to financial constraints? The Basava Vasati Yojana, an initiative by the Department of Housing in Karnataka, is here to assist. This scheme is dedicated to helping economically weaker sections of society build their own robust, permanent homes.
As of now, over 1.77 million Indians are homeless. While many can afford housing, a staggering number of approximately 2 billion Indians struggle to access either ownership or rental options. Recognizing this critical issue, the government launched the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) with an ambitious goal to construct 20 million affordable homes by March 31, 2022. In alignment with PMAY and Rajiv Gandhi Rural Housing Corporation Limited (RGRHCL), the Karnataka government introduced the Basava Vasati Yojana 2023, also known as the Basava Kalyan Yojana. This scheme aims to provide affordable housing solutions within the state.
What is Basava Vasati Yojana?
