The latest  survey  in  this  regard  was  conducted  by  NSSO during 69 th  round on Urban Slums, 2012. Based on the data collected  by  NSSO  during  the  said  survey,  the  estimated number  of  slums  and  slum  households  in  the  country  is respectively 33,510 and 88,09,007.

- (c)  &  (d):  The  Government  of  India  through  various  programmatic interventions has been assisting States/ UTs both technically and financially in order to address their housing shortage.

'In-situ' Slum Redevelopment  (ISSR)  component  under PMAY(U)  Mission  mandates  to  use  land  as  a  resource  for providing  houses  to  slum  dwellers. This  approach  aims  to leverage the locked potential of land under slums to provide houses to the eligible slum dwellers by bringing them into the formal urban settlement. State/UT-wise details of physical and financial progress for construction of houses for slum rehabilitation under PMAY(U) are at Annexure.
- (e):  The  MoHUA  regularly  monitors  the  progress  of  PMAY(U) Mission,  including  the  ISSR  component,  to  achieve  the target of providing pucca houses to all eligible households by 2022. The mechanism for monitoring the progress is as under:
- o An  Inter-Ministerial  Committee  viz.  Central  Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC) constituted under the Chairpersonship  of  Secretary,  MoHUA  is  an  important decision making body responsible for overall review and

monitoring of the Mission.

- o A Committee of Secretary, MoHUA  and Secretary, Department  of  Financial  Services,  Ministry  of  Finance has  also  been  constituted  for  monitoring  the  Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) component of the Mission.
- o An inter-departmental State Level Sanctioning & Monitoring  Committee  (SLSMC)  headed  by  the  Chief Secretary of the concerned State is in-charge of overall implementation  and  monitoring  of  the  Mission  at  State level.
- o A city level Mission envisaged under the Chairpersonship of the Mayor or Chairman of the Urban Local Body (ULB) monitors  the  implementation  of  the  scheme  in  the selected cities.
- (f): Pursuant to the issuance of PMAY(U) Mission guidelines, the MoHUA has written to all State/UT Governments and Central Government  land  owning  Ministries/Departments  to  explore the possibilities of rehabilitation of slums on their land and seek  Central  Assistance  from  the  MoHUA  under  PMAY(U) Mission.
