## ANSWER MINISTER OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT

## (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

a): To achieve the Government's objective of 'Housing for All' by 2022, in rural areas, the erstwhile  rural  housing  scheme,  Indira  Awaas  Yojana  (IAY)  has  been  restructured  into Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana- Gramin (PMAY-G) w.e.f. 1 st April, 2016. Under PMAY-G, beneficiaries are identified from Socio Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011 data, based on housing  deprivation  parameters,  exclusion  criteria  prescribed  and  after  due  verification  by Gram Sabha and following Appellate process. Accordingly, Gram Panchayat -wise Permanent Wait  List  (PWL)  has  been  prepared.    As  on  02.12.2019,  the  Permanent  Wait  List  (PWL) contains 2.50 crores beneficiaries after the prescribed verification process.

No applications from households are required under this scheme as beneficiaries are identified from the PWL.

b)  &  c): Under  PMAY-G, the target is construction of 2.95 crore pucca houses with basic amenities by the year 2022 in phases. The targets for Phase I (2016-17 to 2018-19) and Phase II (2019-20 to 2021-22) are construction of 1.00 crore and 1.95 crore houses respectively.

As on 27.11.2019, a total of 1.36 crore houses have been sanctioned under PMAY-G, out of which 87.55 lakh houses have been completed. State wise targets and achievements of Phase-I and Phase-II is at Annexure.

d): PMAY-G  aims  at  'Housing  for  All'  by  year  2022  in  rural  areas.  To  achieve  this objective, Government has taken several initiatives and innovative steps which include:

-  Implementation  and  monitoring  of  the  scheme  is  through  end  to  end  e-Governance model. All activities of implementation of scheme from identification of beneficiaries till completion of houses are done through MIS-AwaasSoft.
-  Evidence based monitoring of construction of house through uploading of geo-tagged photographs  at  each  pre-determined  stage  of  house  construction  through  the  mobile application- AwaasApp. This has helped in reduction of time in verification of house construction enabling faster release of assistance leading to timely house completion.
-  All States / UTs now have a single bank account of PMAY-G at the State/UT level, the State  Nodal  Account,  from  where  the  assistance  is  transferred  directly  to  beneficiary account through DBT.
-  Increasing  availability  of  trained  rural  mason  by  implementing  'on  the  job'  Rural Mason Training  Programme which has helped  in  construction  of  quality  houses  at  a faster pace.
-  Assigning  each  house  sanctioned  under  PMAY-G  to  a  local  functionary  to  improve monitoring and facilitate timely construction of houses.
-  Awards  to  the  best  performing  States/UTs,  Districts  based  on  performance  index dashboard, thereby creating healthy competition and motivation among the States/ UTs for achieving the set targets.
-  Increasing choices available to beneficiaries by providing a menu of design typologies based on climate, topography, cultural and traditional housing practices and vulnerability to disasters.
