Punjab Government Approves Additional ₹5.33 Crore for Construction of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Bhawan in Tarn Taran: Dr. Baljit Kaur

 

Ambedkar Bhawans Already Completed in 17 Districts, New Buildings to Commence Soon in 5 More Districts

 

Aimed at Providing Multiple Government Services Under One Roof for Scheduled Castes, Backward Classes, and Economically Weaker Sections

 

Chandigarh, June 23:

The Punjab Government, under the dynamic leadership of Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann, remains firmly committed to the welfare and socio-economic upliftment of Scheduled Castes, Backward Classes, and Economically Weaker Sections. Further advancing this commitment, the State Government has sanctioned an additional grant of ₹5.33 crore for the construction of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Bhawan in Tarn Taran district. This announcement was made by Dr. Baljit Kaur, Cabinet Minister for Social Justice, Empowerment, and Minorities.

 

Sharing further details, Dr. Baljit Kaur informed that the sanctioned amount for the current financial year will soon be transferred to the account of the Chief Engineer, Public Works Department (Buildings), ensuring swift progress of the construction work.

 

The Minister stated that a total project estimate of ₹5.93 crore had been approved for the construction of the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Bhawan in Tarn Taran. Out of this, ₹60 lakh has already been released, and the remaining ₹5.33 crore will be transferred shortly to the Public Works Department’s account. She added that the construction of the boundary wall of the Bhawan has already been completed, and the remaining work will now be expedited with high quality, transparency, and within the stipulated timeline.

 

Highlighting the broader vision, Dr. Baljit Kaur shared that Ambedkar Bhawans have already been constructed in 17 districts of Punjab. These centers serve as ‘single-window’ facilities where multiple government services are made available under one roof for the benefit of marginalized, backward, and economically weaker communities. In addition, the process of identifying and acquiring suitable land is underway for the construction of similar Bhawans in five other districts — SAS Nagar, Barnala, Fazilka, Pathankot, and Malerkotla.

 

Issuing directions to the department officials, the Cabinet Minister emphasized that the construction of the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Bhawan in Tarn Taran must be completed with the highest quality standards, full transparency, and strictly within the approved timeframe so that the people of the region can avail of its benefits at the earliest.
