## ANSWER

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

(a):  The  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  is  implementing  Pradhan  Mantri  Awaas  YojanaGramin (PMAY-G) 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 identification  of  beneficiaries  under  PMAY-G  is  based  on  the  housing  deprivation  parameters and exclusion criteria prescribed under Socio Economic Caste Census (SECC)-2011 subject to due  verification  by  the  Gram  Sabha  and  completion  of  Appellate  Process.  An  exercise  for identification  of  households,  who  though  eligible  for  assistance  under  PMAY-G  as  per  the parameters  specified  under  SECC  2011  but  could  not  be  included  in  the  list  of  eligible beneficiaries (taking into account all the parameters that are required for becoming eligible to be a  beneficiary  of  PMAY-G  as  per  Framework  for  Implementation  of  PMAY-G)  and  creating additional list of eligible households was carried out by Ministry of Rural Development through the States / Union Territories (UTs) using Mobile Application 'Awaas+'. The survey was started in  January  2018  and  the  deadline  provided  to  the  states  for  concluding  the  data  collection exercise  initially  was  31 st March  2018  which  was  extended  4  times  and  the  States/UTs  had captured details of 3.57 crore households under the survey, which was ended on 7 th March 2019.

From  the  list  of  3.57  crore  registrations  on  Awaas+,  as  there  was  a  need  for  filtration  of genuinely deprived households for providing the benefit under the scheme and therefore, Expert Committees were constituted and the reports of the committees were received and accepted by the Ministry. Further, the Union Cabinet while approving continuation of PMAY-G had given approval  for  inclusion  of  additional  eligible  households  from  the  final  Awaas+  list  into  the Permanent Wait List (PWL) of PMAY-G, with a ceiling of 2.95 cr. The Union Cabinet had also approved that the targets from the final Awaas+ list will be allocated to those States /UTs who have exhausted their Permanent Wait List of SECC 2011.

The  Ministry  had  allocated  Awaas+  target  of  8.5  lakh  to  the  States  for  FY  2020-21  to  five eligible  State/UT  namely  Uttar  Pradesh,  Uttarakhand,  Gujarat,  Ladakh  and  Sikkim  based  on recommendations of the Expert Committees. In addition to this the ministry has also allocated targets of 42.49 lakh from Awaas+ for the year 2021-22. The State wise targets allocated from final Awaas+ to eligible States/UTs so far are given at Annexure.

(b): No Sir

(c): Does not arise

(d):  The  eligible  households  whose  details  have  been  captured  during  Awaas+  survey  are covered  under  PMAY-G  subject  to  the  ceiling  of  construction  of  2.95  crore  houses  under PMAY-G.
