The Apni Zameen Apna Ghar Program 2025 is a landmark housing initiative launched by the Punjab Government under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif. The scheme is designed to provide free 3-marla residential plots to low-income and homeless families across Punjab, enabling them to own a home and secure their future.
