Haryana's top leader, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, has some good news for people who don't have a fixed home. These people, often called nomads or wandering tribes, will soon get houses to live in. Saini shared this news when he met with people from the Banjara community. The Banjaras are one of these wandering groups. They came to the Chief Minister's house to celebrate the birthday of someone very important to them, Baba Lakkhishah Banjara. 

The Chief Minister said these nomadic people can get houses through a plan called the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. This is a big government program that helps people get homes. But to get a house, families need to put their names on a special list. Saini told everyone to make sure they sign up if they need a home. Saini also said some nice things about Baba Lakkhishah Banjara, showing respect for the Banjara culture. He then announced a special day called 'Vimukta Diwas' on August 31. This day will celebrate these communities. 

The Chief Minister talked about different groups that fall under this category of wandering tribes. He said there are 20 groups that are called Scheduled Castes and 13 that are called Backward Classes. These are official terms that the government uses. 

To help these groups, the government is setting up a special team, or board. People from these communities will be part of this board. This way, they can have a say in decisions that affect them. Saini also promised to create something called the Denotified Tribes Development Corporation. This will be another group working to help these communities. 

Some people at the meeting asked if their groups could get the same benefits as Scheduled Tribes. The Chief Minister said he would write a letter to the big government in Delhi about this. Saini talked about how his government is trying to help people who don't have much. He mentioned health programs like Ayushman Bharat and Chirayu Haryana Yojana. These programs help people get medical care without spending a lot of money. He wants everyone to use these services if they need them. 

All these plans show that the government is trying to help people who have often been left out. By giving them homes, celebrating their culture, and including them in decision-making, the hope is that these nomadic communities will have better lives. 

The Chief Minister's promises, if they come true, could make a big difference for these communities. It could mean more children going to school, better health for families, and a chance for these groups to keep their culture while also being part of modern society.
