Punjab Government’s 3 Marla Scheme  Free Plots for Deserving Families in update 2025 

3 Marla Scheme

The Punjab Government has launched a flagship housing program in 2025 to allocate free 3 Marla residential plots to low‑income, homeless, and landless families under the name “Apni Zameen, Apna Ghar” (Own Land, Own Home).

This initiative aims to give secure homeownership opportunities to those who cannot afford housing in the private market.
