Frequently Asked Questions
The government of Odisha is committed to providing "Pucca Houses" to all the eligible kutcha households in all the mining-affected blocks of nine mineral-bearing Districts: Angul, Dhenkanal, Jajpur, Jharsuguda, Keonjhar, Koraput, Mayurbhanj, Sundargarh & Rayagada. Assistance to construct Pucca houses will be sanctioned to eligible households in these areas under the "Pucca Ghar Yojana (Mining)" Scheme.

Objectives of the Scheme:
The objective of the Scheme is to convert all Kutcha houses into Pucca houses. The HHs residing in Blocks affected by mining activities will be covered in saturation mode. A Pucca house means that it should be able to withstand normal wear & tear due to usage and natural forces, including climatic conditions.

A "Pucca" house is one with the following characteristics:
  • Material: It should have a foundation, wall and roof of permanent material.
  • Wall material: Fly ash bricks, burnt bricks, stones (packed with lime or cement), cement concrete, etc.
  • Roof Material: Tiles, GCI (Galvanized Corrugated Iron) sheets, asbestos cement sheets, RBC (Reinforced Brick Concrete), RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) etc.
  • Lifetime: The expected life of the structure must be a minimum of 30 years.
  • It is clarified that the above definition is only for verification of households with Pucca houses. The roofs of the houses that shall be constructed under this Scheme shall be of RCC or any other material of equivalent strength approved by the PR & DW Department.

A "Kutcha" house is one in which walls and/or roof are made of materials such as un-burnt bricks, bamboo, mud, grass, reeds, thatch, loosely packed stones etc. and materials not mentioned in the above pucca house characteristics which are not durable due to inappropriate application of techniques and are not able to withstand normal wear and tear.
