## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT ( SHRI RAM KRIPAL YADAV )

- ( a) :Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana - Gramin (PMAY - G) is being implementedfrom 1 st April,  2016. Annual  allocation  and  Physical  targets  for  the  year  2016 - 17  have  been communicated  to  all  the  States/UTs  and  funds  have  been  released  to  26  States. meanwhile, 19,08,292 houses sanctioned under the erstwhile IAY (now PMAY - G) have been constructed in the year 2016 - 17 so far.
- ( b) : Under PMAY - G, for effective monitoring following steps have been taken:
- ( i ) Instead of multiple bank accounts at various levels in the State/UT, mo of having a single account at the State level, i.e. State Nodal Account has been adopted. All funds under PMAY -G are transferred directly to the beneficiary  account  through  the  PFMS - AwaasSoft  platform.  By  ensuring faster and seamless transfer of fu nds directly from the State Nodal Account to  the  beneficiaries'  bank/  post  office  account,  the  problems  of  delayed payments and parking of funds at various levels is largely resolved.
- ( ii ) Performance monitoring is done through real time capture of progress u sing workflow enabled transactional data in AwaasSoft.  The data generated f the transactions in AwaasSoft are collated as system generated repor monitoring different pre -det rmined parameters of performance.
- ( iii ) An android based m obile application -'AwaasApp' has been launched by the Ministry for inspection of houses. The application empowers officials citizens to capture and upload - taggeo d, time and date stamped photographs of the house at various stages of construction thereby r educing time lags in verification. The Ministry has also developed an offline for data capture and transmission within the app to overcome the cons of limited internet a d connectivity .
- ( iv ) In addition, Implementation of PMAY - G is reviewed in Per formance Review Committee (PRC) meetings on quarterly basis, State Coordinating Offic meeting on monthly basis, Area Officer's visits and National Level Monitors visits.

(c) &(d) : Under PMAY -G, selection of beneficiaries is made from Socio Economic an Caste Census (SECC) ,2011 database as verified by the Gram Sabha whereas selection beneficiaries under Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY) was done from BPL list. The fund sharing pattern b etween Centre and States remains unchanged.

(e): No procedural hurdle is noticed at the Ministry level.
