Under the Apni Zameen Apna Ghar Scheme 2025, thousands of landless households will now be able to own a free 3-marla residential plot, giving them a permanent place to call home.
This initiative is not just about land—it’s about dignity, stability, and the promise of a brighter future for deserving families.
