## ANSWER

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

(a)  to  (f):  In  order  to  achieve  'Housing  for  All'  in  rural  areas,  the  Ministry  of  Rural Development is implementing the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana- Gramin (PMAY-G) with effect from 1st April, 2016 to provide assistance to eligible rural households with an overall target to construct 2.95 crore pucca houses with basic amenities by March, 2024. As per the information available, the State Government of Bihar has finalized the names of the villages to be covered in the Madhubani and Darbanga districts of Bihar under PMAY-G. The total number  of  villages  covered  is  1338  in  330  Gram  Panchayats  (GPs)  in  18  Blocks  of Darbhanga district  and  1307  villages  in  399  GPs  in  21  Blocks  of  Madhubani  district.  The targets  allocated  to  these  villages  by  the  State  can  be  seen  on  PMAY-G  website  on www.pmayg.nic.in -----> AwaasSoft----> Reports----->Annual target and allocation.

The  targets  under  PMAY-G  are  set  annually  on  the  basis  of  availability  of  eligible beneficiaries, achievements of targets allocated during the preceding years, and proposal of the  State/UT.  After  allocation  of  annual  targets,  further  distribution  of  targets  among beneficiaries in various districts/blocks/villages is done by the States/UTs on the basis of the eligible number of beneficiaries in the Permanent Wait List (PWL). The Ministry has already allocated a  full  target  of  38,83,611  houses to  Bihar, including 11,49,947 from the Awaas+ list. Out of this, 36,07,361 houses have been sanctioned to the beneficiaries. Balance 2,76,250 houses remain to be sanctioned by the State to the beneficiaries.
