Union Minister Shri Chouhan stated that this year, the ministry's budget was Rs. 1 lakh 84 thousand crores, of which Rs. 1 lakh 3 thousand crores have been spent. We are working day and night to fulfill the Prime Minister's resolution by connecting rural communities with employment opportunities and essential facilities. While answering media queries, Shri Chauhan stated that if any state identifies shortcomings in MNREGA and PM Awas Yojana, action will be taken, reaffirming the government's commitment.
