## ANSWER

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

(a) & (b)   In order to achieve the target of 'Housing for All' in rural areas, the Ministry of Rural Development  is  implementing  Pradhan  MantriAwaasYojana-  Gramin  (PMAY-G)  with  effect from 1 st 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. The beneficiaries under PMAY-G are identified on the basis  of housing  deprivation  parameters and  exclusion  criteria prescribed  under  Socio  Economic  Caste  Census  (SECC)-2011.  The  target  of  2.95  crore  was arrived at on that basis. The auto generated priority list of households from SECC, 2011 database was  provided  to  the  States/Union  Territories  for  conducting  verification  by  Gram  Sabhas followed  by  an  appellate  process.  The  number  of  eligible  beneficiaries  thus  made  available through  SECC  database  currently  stands  at  2.08  crore  (approx.).  Thereafter,  the  Government conducted Awaas+ survey 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 between overall target of PMAY-G and beneficiaries available through SECC 2011, Awaas+ data is being utilized.

In the State of Gujarat, the beneficiaries available in SECC based Permanent Wait List (PWL) are 3,21,495 and in Awaas+ are 6,38,113 as on 24.03.2023. The Ministry has allocated a target of  6,33,772  houses  to  Gujarat  State  (including  3,13,466  from  Awaas+  list)  from  the  financial year 2016-17 till 2022-23.

The Ministry has released an amount of Rs.3,301.62 crore as Central assistance to Gujarat State under PMAY-G for construction of targeted houses from the financial year 2016-17 to 2022-23 (as on 23.03.2023).

(c)   Against the total target of 6,33,772 houses allocated to the State of Gujarat since inception of PMAY-G i.e. from financial year 2016-17 to 2022-23, the State Government has sanctioned houses  to  5,80,069  beneficiaries  and  construction  of  4,04,610  houses  has   been  completed  till 24.03.2023.

(d)   The State-wise details of the total number of houses constructed under PMAY-G in order to achieve the objective of 'Housing for All' during each of the last three years i.e. 2019-20, 202021 and 2021-22 is given in Annexure .
