## ANSWER MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

- a) The details  of  number  of  houses  constructed  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Awaas  YojanaGramin (PMAY-G) in Jharkhand with corresponding percentage of completion of construction, district-wise is given in Annexure .
- b) The PMAY-G scheme requires the States/UTs to provide the beneficiaries a bouquet of house design options according to local conditions, using appropriate technology suitable to the region of their residence. The Ministry of Rural Development, in collaboration with the Unite  Nation  Development  Programme  (UNDP)  and  Indian  Institute  of  Technology  (IIT) Delhi  conducted  studies  in  various  states  and  developed  locally  appropriate,  cost  effective and disaster resilient housing design typologies for identified housing zones. The appropriate house  design  typologies  developed  in  respect  of  15  States,  including  Jharkhand,  has  been compiled  into  a  book  'PAHAL'  which  has  been  distributed  among  states  and  is  also available  on  the  website  of  the  Ministry.  Since  PMAY-G  is  a  beneficiary  driven  scheme, advisories  have  been  issued  by  the  ministry  urging  State  Governments  to  encourage beneficiaries to adopt environment friendly technology like fly-ash bricks, roof-top rainwater harvesting, bamboo-based construction materials etc. in construction of PMAY-G houses.
- c) In Phase - I (2016-17 to 2018-19) of PMAY-G, the targets allocated for Aspirational districts was construction of 26.30 lakh houses out of which, 25.86 lakh (98.3%) houses have been sanctioned and 22.28 lakh (84.7%) houses have been completed as on 05.12.2019.

The  targets  for  2019-20  of  Phase  II  (2019-20  to  2021-22)  of  PMAY-G  for  Aspirational districts  is  13.87  lakh  of  which  12.52  lakh  (90%)  houses  have  been  sanctioned  as  on 05.12.2019.  As per framework for Implementation, the time period given for construction of a house is 12 months from the date of sanction.

Further, to achieve the targets of States/ UTs including aspirational districts under PMAY-G, the Government has taken several initiatives and innovative steps which include:

- i. Implementation  and  monitoring  of  the  scheme  through  end  to  end  e-Governance model using MIS-AwaasSoft.
- ii. Evidence based monitoring of construction of house through uploading of geo-tagged photographs at each pre-determined stage of house construction.
- iii. Single bank account (State Nodal Account) of PMAY-G at the State/UT level from where the assistance is transferred directly to beneficiary account through DBT.
- iv. Increasing availability of trained rural mason by encouraging Rural Mason Training.
- v. Assigning each house sanctioned under PMAY-G to a local functionary to improve monitoring and facilitate timely construction of houses.
- vi. Awards  to  the  best  performing  States/UTs,  Districts  based  on  performance  index dashboard, thereby creating healthy competition and motivation.
- vii. Increasing choices available to beneficiaries by providing a menu of design typologies based on climate, topography, cultural and traditional housing practices and vulnerability to disaster.
