This program is designed to empower low-income families of Punjab by helping them to achieve a lifelong dream (Apne Ghar Ka Khab) a piece of land and building a home on it.

For many Pakistani families, especially those living in rural or underdeveloped areas, the idea of having their own house on their own land has remained a Life Dream. But due to this initiative by the CM Punjab aims to turn that dream into reality.

This is the kind of project that a low-income government employee, a daily wage worker, or someone with limited means could only dream of. Everyone wants to have a roof over their head and a place they can call their own and now, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif is turning that dream into reality. After transferring land ownership rights into the beneficiaries Govt. will never stand alone, will be given further support by the Govt., such as access to low-interest construction loans or government-backed housing aid, to help them build their homes  without hurting self respect.

This program is not just about giving away land it’s about restoring dignity, offering hope, and building a secure future for thousands of struggling families who never imagined they could own a home. It touches the deepest dreams of every low-income father, mother, or widow who prays for a roof over their children’s heads. For many, this is more than a government scheme it’s a long-awaited lifeline.Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s Apni Zameen Apna Ghar initiative is truly a heart-winning project a bold and compassionate step that is winning the hearts of the people of Punjab by turning their dreams of owning a home into a reality.

Free or subsidized land allotment: Eligible families receive small residential plots.

Construction Support: Technical and financial assistance is available to build safe, low-cost homes.

This is more than just a policy. It is a component of the larger goal of the Punjab Historical Housing and Town Planning Agency (PHATA), which seeks to alleviate urban overpopulation, eradicate homelessness, and improve neglected rural villages. The government has stated that “no family in Punjab should live without a roof over their head,” under the empathetic leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif. This is more than just a development project; it is a commitment to giving the most disadvantaged people their dignity, hope, and feeling of community back. This project genuinely puts people first by seeing access to shelter as a fundamental human right rather than merely an economic objective, especially for those who have dreamed of a house of their own for their whole lives.

Even in its initial phases, the Apni Zameen Apna Ghar Program has received wide appreciation for being inclusive and pro-poor. Thousands of families have already been identified across districts, and pilot land distributions have begun in select areas.

More importantly, the program is seen as restoring hope and dignity to families who have struggled for generations to escape the cycle of poverty and displacement.
