The Apni Zameen Apna Ghar (AZAG) Program 2025 is one of the most important housing initiatives launched by the Punjab Government under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif. This program aims to provide free 3-marla plots to poor and homeless families across Punjab. Through this scheme, thousands of deserving families will finally have the opportunity to own land and build a safe home for themselves.
To make the process easy and transparent, the government has introduced a fully online system that allows applicants to check their application status anytime without visiting government offices.
Purpose of the Apni Zameen Apna Ghar Program
The main purpose of this housing program is to support low-income families who cannot afford to buy land or build a house. For many families in Punjab, owning even a small piece of land is a lifelong dream. The government wants to make this dream possible by providing land ownership rights through a fair and corruption-free system.
The Punjab Housing and Town Planning Agency (PHATA) is responsible for handling applications and conducting balloting to ensure transparency. Every eligible applicant gets an equal opportunity, without any political or personal influence.
