However, under the Prime Minister’s Janman Yojana, they received approval for a house, and now their beautiful and clean house is ready. Bikhni Bai expressed her gratitude to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and the state’s Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai, saying that due to their efforts, her family is excited to live in a permanent house, and their life has improved significantly.
