Fulfilling the vision of planned urban growth across non-metro regions, the Chhattisgarh government, under Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai, has sanctioned two modern residential township projects in his home district of Jashpur. Approved under the flagship Atal Vihar Yojana, the Chhattisgarh Housing and Infrastructure Development Board will construct two fully equipped colonies across Ginabahar village in the Kunkuri development block and Balachhapar village in Jashpur town at an aggregate capital expenditure of ₹51.48 crore. Spanning 14 acres of prime suburban land and delivering 225 housing units designed across varying income categories, the comprehensive development aims to decentralize modern gated-community living from top-tier municipal corporations to regional block headquarters.
Decentralizing Urban Development: Minister O.P. Choudhary’s Push Across 33 Districts
The rollout represents a targeted policy to upgrade municipal infrastructure and housing access across small towns and rural blocks:
Statewide Housing Expansion: Under the specific instructions of Housing and Environment Minister and Jashpur District In-charge O.P. Choudhary, the Housing Board is executing structured residential colonies across all 33 districts of Chhattisgarh.
Emphasis on Quality and Transparency: Minister Choudhary has mandated stringent quality benchmarks, transparent digital allotments, strict construction delivery timelines, and self-sustaining civic infrastructure across all regional schemes.
Economic Multiplier for Jashpur: Beyond fulfilling homeownership goals for low- and middle-income families, local civil construction will spur regional employment, building material consumption, and commercial market activity across the district.
Kunkuri's Ginabahar Project: 97 Affordable Homes Backed by Subsidies and Re 1 Land Rates
The first approved township addresses housing shortages within the fast-growing Kunkuri development belt:
Strategic Location and Outlay: Built over approximately 7 acres in Ginabahar village along the Kunkuri-Bagicha road—barely 2 kilometers off National Highway 43—the project has received formal administrative sanction of ₹17.15 crore.
Focus on EWS and LIG Segments: Out of 97 planned houses, 91 units are reserved exclusively for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and Low-Income Groups (LIG).
Land at Re 1 Per Square Foot: To guarantee genuine affordability, the Chhattisgarh government transferred state land to the Housing Board at an ultra-concessional rate of just Re 1 per square foot.
Direct Financial Grants: Eligible allottees will receive direct state subsidies of ₹80,000 for EWS homes and ₹40,000 for LIG units, significantly lowering the barrier to early mortgage clearance.
Civil Amenities: The layout incorporates secure boundary protection, paved internal concrete roads, integrated drainage networks, and landscaped green zones.
Balachhapar Gated Campus: 128 Modern Homes With Sports and Commercial Infrastructure
The second flagship township in Balachhapar introduces mixed-income, integrated gated community living to Jashpur city:
Budget and Footprint: Spanning 7 acres adjacent to Raigarh Road—just 200 meters from National Highway 43—the complex has secured an administrative sanction of ₹34.32 crore.
Diverse Housing Inventory: The project delivers 128 residential units, including 11 High-Income Group (HIG), 20 Middle-Income Group (MIG), 4 Junior MIG, 55 Low-Income Group (LIG), and 38 Economically Weaker Section (EWS) dwellings, alongside dedicated commercial retail shops.
Modern Lifestyle Facilities: Designed as a fully secured covered campus, the colony features a dedicated transit bus stop, community hall, turf box cricket arena, children's play park, and green recreational gardens to foster community living.
Official Assurance on Livability: Anurag Singh Deo, Chairman of the Chhattisgarh Housing and Infrastructure Development Board, affirmed that the designs strictly prioritize wide roads, potable water distribution, clean sanitation corridors, and affordable price points.
Pipeline Across Pathalgaon, Mahuatoli, and Kadora: Bookings Open Through Oct 20
The housing expansion drive is systematically spreading to adjacent tehsils and agricultural hubs across Jashpur district:
Upcoming Project Sites: Parallel schemes are in active design stages for Mahuatoli, Kadora, and Madanpur villages situated within the Pathalgaon development block.
Madanpur Booking Deadlines: Prafulla Choure, Executive Engineer of the Chhattisgarh Housing Board in Jashpur, confirmed that application windows for the Madanpur Pathalgaon project opened on October 6, 2026, with the initial allotment booking window closing on October 20, 2026.
A Long-Term Infrastructure Shift: Combined, the 225 homes across Kunkuri and Balachhapar mark a pivotal transition in Jashpur's residential landscape, ensuring modern urban housing is no longer confined to major administrative metros.
