For many families in India, owning a safe and secure house remains a fundamental yet unfulfilled need. To address this, the Government of Karnataka launched the Rajiv Gandhi Rural Housing Corporation Limited (RGRHCL) scheme. Its primary goal is to provide affordable housing to the state's economically weaker sections, including those living below the poverty line (BPL) and homeless families in rural and backward areas.
Each year, numerous applicants apply for this benefit. The RGRHCL Beneficiary Status List is the official record that confirms whether an applicant has been selected to receive a house under the scheme. If you have applied, checking this list is crucial to know the status of your application.
