Purpose of the Apni Zameen Apna Ghar Scheme
This scheme is specially designed for landless and low-income families in Punjab. It helps deserving citizens who are living in rented houses, temporary shelters, or with relatives by giving them ownership of land. Through this scheme, the government is not just offering plots but also free interest-free construction loans to help them build their own homes.
CM Maryam Nawaz said the scheme is part of her government’s vision to offer shelter and security to the poor. She added that more than 300 new homes are being built daily, and this is just the beginning. In the first phase, 2,000 plots will be given in 23 housing schemes across 19 districts of Punjab.
