In a historic step toward social welfare and poverty alleviation, the Government of Punjab, led by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has introduced the 3 Marla Plot Scheme for underprivileged families across the province. This visionary housing project is a cornerstone of the broader initiative titled “Apni Zameen Apna Ghar,” aimed at transforming the housing landscape for low-income individuals in Punjab.
️ What does the 3 Marla Plot Scheme entail?
The Three Marla Plot Scheme is a social housing initiative where the Punjab government is allocating free residential plots of three marlas (approximately 75 square yards) to deserving families. These plots will allow families to build their own homes, promoting dignity and long-term security.
As of the 2025 update, 1,892 plots have been earmarked for allocation in the first phase. These plots are being distributed across 22 districts of Punjab, including key urban and rural areas such as Lahore, Multan, Rawalpindi, Bhakkar, Bahawalpur, and Faisalabad.
Key Objectives of the Scheme
- Reduce homelessness among low-income families
- Empower the poor through land ownership.
- Provide housing security to people without any property
- Encourage urban and rural development.
This initiative stands as a practical solution to the housing crisis faced by millions in Punjab, especially those who have lived for decades in informal settlements or rental homes.

Zero Cost & Financial Assistance

Additionally, for families who receive plots and wish to construct homes, the government will provide interest-free loans of up to PKR 1.5 million through the “Apni Chhat Apna Ghar” support program.
