(a) and (b):  In view of the commitment of construction of one crore houses over a period of 3 years from 2016-17 to 2018-19 under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana- Gramin (PMAY-G), the Ministry  of  Rural  Development  has  requested  the  State/UTs  to  complete  51  lakh  houses  by March, 2018. As reported by the States/UTs on AwaasSoft as on 12.03.2018,   26,06,651 houses have  been  constructed.  As  informed  by  the  States/UTs  remaining  houses  are  likely  to  be completed by March, 2018. In addition, the States/UTs have been requested to complete pending IAY houses by 31.03.2018.

State-wise detail of one crore houses proposed to be constructed is at Annexure-I.

(c) and  (d)  :  Yes  Madam.  Implementation  of  PMAY-G  is  done  through  end  to  end  egovernance model which is based on two systems given as under:

- (i) PMAY-G MISAwaasSoft
- (ii) PMAY-G mobile applicationAwaasApp

AwaasSoft  is  a  web  based  electronic  service  delivery  platform  to  facilitate  e-Governance  in PMAY-G.  All  critical  functions  of  PMAY-G  like  identification  of  beneficiaries  from  SECC, fixing of targets, release of funds, issue of sanction order to the beneficiary, monitoring of the progress of house construction, release of the assistance amount to the beneficiary, etc. are done through AwaasSoft.

The  construction  of  the  house  is  monitored  by  capturing  geo-tagged,  date  and  time  stamped photographs of different stages of construction of the house. In order to capture the geo-tagged photograph, Ministry of Rural Development has launched mobile application- 'AwaasApp'. The Ministry has also developed an offline module for data capture and transmission within the app to  overcome  the  constraint  of  limited  internet  bandwidth.  This  application  empowers  officials and citizens to capture and upload geo-tagged, time stamped photographs of the house at various stages  of  construction  like  existing  dwelling,  proposed  site  of  construction,  foundation/plinth level,  windowsill/ lintel /roof cost level and house completion.
