Basava Ashraya Housing Scheme 2025: End Your Rental Life! Get Up to ₹2 Lakh from the Government to Build Your Own Home
Living in a rented house for years, facing monthly rent pressure, frequent house shifting, and uncertainty is the reality for thousands of families. To put an end to this struggle and to fulfill the dream of owning a permanent house, the Government of Karnataka has introduced the Ashraya Housing Scheme 2025, also known as the Basava Vasati Yojana.
