इसके अलावा एक और महत्वपूर्ण फैसला लिया गया है। "मुख्यमंत्री ग्राम गाड़ी योजना" शुरू होगी। इसके तहत लोग बसों में मुफ्त यात्रा कर सकेंगे, खासकर बुजुर्ग, महिला, विद्यार्थी, आंदोलनकारी और स्वतंत्रता सेनानी। उन्होंने कहा कि मुख्यमंत्री ग्राम गाड़ी योजना का फायदा झारखंड के कम से कम एक करोड़ लोगों को मिलेगा। ग्रामीण क्षेत्र में रहने वाले लोगों को शहर जाने में, एक गांव से दूसरे गांव जाने में सहूलियत होगी। मुख्यमंत्री हेमंत सोरेन की अध्यक्षता में आज हुई कैबिनेट की बैठक में इन दो अहम फैसलों के साथ-साथ कुल 29 प्रस्तावों को मंजूरी दी गई है। 

CM Announcement on Abuaa Awas Scheme (August 2023 Update)

***This section is updated on 30 August 2023*** While announcing the Abua Awas Yojana on the Independence Day (15 August 2023), CM Hemant Soren said that the state government would spend over Rs. 16,320 crore under the scheme in the next three years. In this new housing scheme, the state govt. will develop and give 3 room houses free of cost to poor and needy people.

CM Soren added "We had promised to provide houses to the poor. Today, I announce to launch the Abua Awas Yojna. Under the scheme, we would provide 3-room houses to the needy. The government would spend over Rs. 16,320 crore under the scheme in the next three years". 

Although the chief minister did not share any blueprint of the scheme or deadline for its launch, it is expected that Abuaa Awas scheme would run separately from the ongoing central government "PM Awas Yojna", aiming to provide housing for all. "The PM Awas Yojna is set to end by March 2024. The Abuaa Awas Yojna would be fully funded by the state government. Under the scheme, the state government is estimated to provide housing to around 8 lakh people in the rural areas," said an official.

Several applications are pending in the state for houses under the PM Awas Yojna, all of whose applications remain pending under that scheme and all possible new beneficiaries would be covered under the Abau Awas Yojana put forth by CM Soren, said an official. Providing 3 room houses to the needy was an electrical promise of the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) in the 2019 assembly elections.
