The Government of Punjab, under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has launched a revolutionary housing initiative called the Apni Chhat Apna Ghar Scheme 2025. This welfare-oriented program is designed to support low-income families across the province by providing them with interest-free loans to construct homes on their land.
With the rising cost of construction and limited access to housing finance, this scheme offers a golden opportunity for eligible individuals to finally build a secure and dignified residence for themselves and their families.
