• Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said more than 5,000 applications under the Majhe Ghar scheme have been approved across the state.
• Ownership orders for eligible beneficiaries are set to be distributed by June 10 in both North Goa and South Goa.
• The scheme was introduced to regularise houses and provide legal ownership rights to residents facing property-related issues.
• The government has received strong public response to the initiative, with tens of thousands of forms distributed since its launch.
• The programme is expected to provide legal clarity and housing security to thousands of families across Goa.
The Goa government has approved more than 5,000 applications under the Majhe Ghar scheme, marking a significant step in its effort to provide legal ownership rights to residents facing long-standing housing and property-related issues. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said the approved applicants will receive ownership orders by June 10 as the state moves ahead with implementing the housing regularisation programme.
According to Sawant, the distribution of ownership documents will be carried out across North Goa and South Goa. The approvals are expected to benefit thousands of families who have been awaiting legal recognition of their homes and properties for years.
The Majhe Ghar scheme was introduced by the Goa government to address various housing ownership challenges faced by residents, particularly those whose properties were caught in legal, administrative or documentation-related complications. Through the scheme, eligible applicants can obtain legal ownership rights under a structured framework created by the state government.
The latest approvals represent one of the largest milestones achieved under the programme since its launch. The government has been processing applications in phases while conducting verification and scrutiny of documents submitted by beneficiaries.
The scheme has witnessed considerable public participation since its introduction. Earlier, the state government had reported the distribution of nearly 50,000 application forms, reflecting strong interest from residents seeking ownership regularisation and legal protection for their homes.
Housing regularisation has remained an important policy focus for the Goa government over the last year. The state has consistently maintained that the scheme aims to resolve genuine cases of ownership uncertainty and provide a long-term solution to residents affected by property-related disputes and documentation challenges.
The programme has also attracted legal attention since its launch. In previous statements, the chief minister had said the government would continue defending the scheme in court and ensure that eligible beneficiaries receive the intended benefits. The administration has repeatedly maintained that the initiative has been designed within a legal framework to address housing concerns across the state.
In a move aimed at increasing public outreach and speeding up implementation, the government has organised special camps and awareness programmes to assist applicants with documentation and application procedures. Such efforts have helped expand the scheme's reach to residents across different parts of Goa.
The state government had also earlier clarified that certain older structures built before 1972 along roadsides would not face demolition under the provisions linked to the scheme, addressing concerns raised by property owners regarding the future status of their homes.
With more than 5,000 applications now approved, the Majhe Ghar scheme is entering an important implementation phase. The issuance of ownership orders is expected to provide legal certainty to beneficiaries while helping resolve property ownership issues that have remained pending for years.
