## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI HARDEEP SINGH PURI)

(a) to (c): Technical  Group  constituted  by  the  then  Ministry  of Housing  and  Urban  Poverty  Alleviation  had  estimated  the  Urban Housing shortage at the beginning of the 12th Plan period i.e. 2012 at 18.78 million and shortage of houses in urban area of Gujarat was estimated  at  0.99  million.    However,  as  per  the  demand  survey conducted  by  Government  of  Gujarat  under  PMAY(U),  the  total estimated demand for houses is 7.76 lakh.  This demand for housing has already been validated by the Government of Gujarat.

'Land'  and  'Colonization'  being  state  subjects,  State  Government  / Municipal Authorities concerned are responsible for providing housing to all its citizens.  The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs is  supplementing  the  efforts  of  State  Governments  in  creation  of affordable housing stock through programme interventions.

Government  of  India  has  launched  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana (Urban) mission on 25 June, 2015 and the Mission aims to assist the States / ULBs  in providing housing to all eligible families / beneficiaries  among  the  urban  poor.  The  Mission  comprises  four components  viz  in-situ  slum  redevelopment;  affordable  housing through credit-linked subsidy; affordable housing in partnership; and subsidy for beneficiary-led individual house construction.

Details  of  houses  sanctioned  to  people  belonging  to  Economically Weaker  Section  during  the  last  three  years  in  the  State  of  Gujarat under PMAY(U) Mission, are Annexed.
