## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING & URBAN AFFAIRS [SHRI HARDEEP SINGH PURI]

- (a) & (b): The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs is implementing  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana  (Urban)  [PMAY(U)]  for providing assistance to States/Union Territories (UTs) in addressing

the housing requirement in urban areas of the country for the people belonging  to  Economically  Weaker  Sections  (EWS),  Lower  Income Group  (LIG)  and  Middle  Income  Group  (MIG)  categories.    As  on

10.12.2018, total 65,44,135 houses have been approved under the

PMAY(U),  out  of  which  35,66,761  houses  have  been  grounded  for construction, 12,44,533 houses have been completed and 12,37,552 houses  have  been  occupied  by  the  beneficiaries.    State/UT-wise details  of  physical  and  financial  progress  of  the  PMAY(U)  is  at Annexure.

(c): The houses approved under the PMAY(U) are being designed and  constructed  by  the  Urban  Local  Bodies  (ULBs)/Implementing Agencies  (IAs)  of  the  States/UTs  conforming  to  the  standards  of National Building Code and other relevant Bureau of Indian Standards  codes  to  meet  the  requirements  of  structural  safety against earthquake, flood, cyclone, landslides etc. Engineers deployed in the State Level Technical Cells (SLTCs) and City Level Technical  Cells  (CLTCs)  have  also  been  mandated  to  ensure  the quality of construction of the houses under the PMAY(U).

Further,  Third  Party  Quality  Monitoring  (TPQM)  of  all  the  ongoing projects  is  mandatory  for  effective  monitoring  of  quality  of  the houses  approved  under  the  PMAY(U).    On  the  basis  of  the  TPQM Reports, States/UTs and ULBs/IAs take both preventive and curative measures to ensure standard quality houses under the PMAY(U).

Apart  from  this,  Central  Sanctioning  and  Monitoring  Committee (CSMC), constituted under the PMAY(U), may also check the quality of the houses on random basis or houses of specific project through technical institutions for quality monitoring purpose.

(d) & (e): Yes,  Madam.    The  housing  construction  sector  creates formal and informal jobs.  In this connection, as per a Study Report (2014)  by  the  National  Council  of  Applied  Economic  Research (NCAER) on 'Impact of Investments in the Housing Sector on GDP and  Employment  in  the  Indian  Economy',  for  every  Rs.  1  lakh invested in the housing sector, 2.69 new jobs (2.65 informal and 0.4 formal) are created in the economy.  On this basis, it is estimated that  a  total  of  6.07  Crores*  employment  might  have  so  far  been generated  through  implementation  of  the  PMAY(U)  across  the country.

* Refers to number of jobs created irrespective of duration.
