## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

(a): To achieve the objective of 'Housing for All' by 2022, the Ministry of Rural Development is implementing Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana- Gramin (PMAY-G) with effect from 1 st April, 2016. The State of Telangana had been allocated a target of 70,674 houses for the financial years 2016-17 and 2017-18 under PMAY-G and an amount of Rs.19,078.865 lakhs were also released as 1 st installment against the targets of FY 2016-17 for implementation of the scheme. However, the State of Telangana is not implementing the PMAY-G. The quantum of funds allocated and released to the State under erstwhile IAY and PMAY-G during the last seven years and current year from FY 2014-15 till 2021-22 is given as under:-

| Financial Year                             | Central Release (in Rs. Lakhs)   |
|--------------------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| 2014-15                                    | 41035.176                        |

| 2016-17                                    | 14263.335                        |
| 2017-18                                    | 4815.53                          |
