Government offers complimentary sand to cut construction costs under housing scheme

Under the PMAY‑G programme, the state is providing free sand to reduce the financial burden on low‑income families constructing permanent homes. Sand prices have traditionally added a significant expense to building projects, and the free‑sand provision is expected to lower overall costs and accelerate construction timelines.

Beneficiaries will now receive not only approval for a house but also a critical building material at no charge, simplifying the path to a completed dwelling.
