(a)         The  Ministry  has  allocated  a  total  target  of  20,84,070  houses  to  the  State  of  Govt.  of Assam under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana- Gramin (PMAY-G) since 2016-17  till date. Out of this, the State Government has sanctioned houses to 12,91,217 beneficiaries and 5,95,869 houses have been completed as on 27.07.2022. The total number of houses sanctioned and completed in Kamrup (Metro) district of Assam including Guwahati are 4,884 and 2,624 respectively.

- (b)        The  deadline  for  completion  of  targeted  houses  under  PMAY-G  for  all  States  /  UTs including the State of Assam is March 2024. (c)       In order to achieve the target of 'Housing for All' in rural areas, the Ministry of Rural Development is implementing Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana- Gramin (PMAY-G) with effect from  1 st April,  2016  to  provide  assistance  to  eligible  rural  households  with  overall  target  to construct  2.95  crore  pucca  houses  with  basic  amenities  by  March,  2024.  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 and due verification by the respective Gram Sabhas and completion of an Appellate Process. The target of 2.95 crore was arrived at on that basis.  The number of eligible beneficiaries available through  SECC database currently  stands  at  2.15  crore  (approx.).  The  Government  conducted  Awaas+  survey  during January 2018 to March 2019 to identify those beneficiaries which claimed to have been left out under the 2011 SECC and thus prepared an additional list of potential beneficiaries. In order to fill  the  gap  of  80  lakh  (2.95  crore  -  2.15  crore),  Awaas+  data  is  being  utilized  and 63.68  lakh houses  have  already  been  allocated  to  eligible  States/  UTs  from  Awaas+  till  date.All  such information including the list of beneficiaries is available on the Programme  website www.pmayg.nic.in.
