Uttar Pradesh News: 331 Displaced Families From Bangladesh Rehabilitated In Lakhimpur Kheri With Land, Welfare Support For New Lives

Lucknow, April 2: Under the direction of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, 331 Hindu families displaced from Bangladesh have been successfully resettled in different villages of Lakhimpur Kheri. These families have now established permanent homes across three tehsils — Dhaurahara, Mohammadi, and Gola.

According to officials, 97 families were settled in Sujanpur village (Dhaurahara), 41 in Mohanpur Grant, and 156 in Miyanpur (Mohammadi), while 37 families were rehabilitated in Grant No. 3 village (Gola). The rehabilitation process was initiated years ago, and the families are now living stable lives.

Land allotment ensures self-reliance

To ensure sustainable livelihoods, agricultural land was allocated to each family. In some areas, families received up to 7 acres of farmland, enabling them to engage in farming and become self-reliant. Authorities emphasised that land distribution played a crucial role in integrating these families into the local economy.

Access to government welfare schemes

District Magistrate Durga Shakti Nagpal stated that along with land allotment, beneficiaries are being provided access to multiple government welfare schemes. These include Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, Ujjwala Yojana, pensions, and Kisan Credit Cards.
