## ANSWER

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

- (a) The Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana- Gramin (PMAY-G) is being implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India since 2016 in the country to provide assistance to eligible rural households for construction of 2.95 crore Pucca houses with basic amenities  to  achieve  the  objective  of  'Housing  for  All'.The  total  number  of  houses  built under  PMAY-G vis  a  vis target  fixed  during  the  last  three  years,  year-wise  and  State-wise including Gujarat is given in Annexure .

(b)& (c) Under the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana- Gramin (PMAY-G), out of the allocated target  of  2.63  crore  till  financial  year  2021-22,  1,51,92,653  houses    have  already  been constructed  including  33,99,531  houses  constructed  during  2020-21.  During  the  period  of Covid-19  pandemic  induced  nation-wide  lockdown,  all  construction  activities  including construction of houses under PMAY-G were also affected. It resulted in retarding the pace of construction of PMAY-G houses. Besides, the delays are also due to cases of unwillingness of  beneficiaries,  migration,  death  of  beneficiaries  without  legal  heir,  delay  in  allotment  of land to landless beneficiaries by the States/UTs and General/Assembly/Panchayat elections. The States/UTs have been requested to expedite the completion of houses approved under PMAY-G. Other steps taken including timely allocation of targets to the States/UTs under PMAY-G,  provision of adequate funds and promotion of eco-friendly &innovative technologies for house construction, follow up with the States to ensure provision of land to landless beneficiaries in rural areas, expeditious resolution of technical issues faced by the State.  Advisory was issued to all States/UTs to resume activities under PMAY-G with due Covid-19 protocol and regular review of progress at the level of Ministry to ensure timely completion of targeted houses.
