## ANSWER

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

(a)   Yes  Sir.  In  order  to  achieve  'Housing  for  All'  in  rural  areas,  the  Ministry  of  Rural Development  is  implementing  Pradhan  Mantri  Awaas  Yojana-  Gramin  (PMAY-G)  w.e.f. 1 st April, 2016 to provide assistance to eligible rural households for construction of 2.95 crore Pucca houses with basic amenities.  Under PMAY-G, a total target of 2.63 crore houses have been allocated to States/UTs, out of which 2.12 crore houses have been sanctioned and 1.65 crore houses have been completed as on 02.12.2021 in the country.

(b)  The  Year-wise  and  District-wise  details  of  the  number  of  houses  constructed  under PMAY-G during the last three years in Uttar Pradesh are given in Annexure-I .

(c)  Under  PMAY-G,  the  house  is  constructed  by  the  beneficiary  himself/herself  or  it  is constructed  under  his/her  supervision.  In  case,  where  the  beneficiary  is  old  or  infirm  or  a person with disability, and is ,therefore, not in a position to get the house constructed on his own, such houses are taken up as part of the mason training program. There is a provision of 90/95 mandays of unskilled labour wages under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment  Guarantee  Scheme  (MGNREGS)  if  the  beneficiary  constructs  the  house himself/herself. The Ministry has taken following steps to ensure good quality construction of PMAY-G houses:

- i. The beneficiaries are being assisted in house construction with a bouquet of house design typologies inclusive of disaster resilient features that are suitable to their local geo-climatic conditions,  cultural  preferences  and  availability  of  construction  materials.  The  Ministry published a  compendium of region-specific house  designs  with  the  name  'Pahal'  which includes  108  house  designs  for  62  housing  zones  in  15  states  for  the  use  of  the beneficiaries.
- ii. The  geo-tagged  and  time  stamped  photographs  of  the  houses  at  different  stages  of construction  have  been  linked  with  the  release  of  subsequent  installments  of  financial assistance  leading  to  evidence-based  monitoring.  The  captured  photographs  are  further being used for reviewing the construction quality/completion of the houses under PMAYG.
- iii. To  avail  the  skilled  workforce  for  the  construction  of  quality  houses  the  Ministry  has launched the Rural Mason Training (RMT) program under PMAY-G in partnership with the  Construction  Skill  Development  Council  of  India  (CSDCI)  and  National  Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to impart training to rural masons.
- iv. To bring about the effective collaboration among the academic / technical institutes and State government under PMAY-G for the technical support in quality construction of the houses  and  use  of  alternative  construction  technologies  under  PMAY-G,  the  guidelines have been issued by the Ministry. Accordingly, States are collaborating with the academic/ technical institutes.
- v. The  quality  construction  of  the  houses  under  PMAY-G  is  also  being  reviewed  through field visits by the filed functionaries of the States/UTs, Common Review Mission (CRM) teams, officials from the Ministry, National Level Monitors, etc.
- vi. For quality construction of the houses, the States/UTs have been asked to take necessary steps to ensure the sustained availability of good quality construction materials. Further, building  materials  manufacturers  and  suppliers'  associations  have  been  asked  to  ensure supply of construction materials for use in the house construction under PMAY-G.

(d)  &  (e):  Yes  Sir.  As  per  Framework  for  Implementation  (FFI)  of  PMAY-G,  there  is  a grievance  redressal  mechanism  set  up  at  different  levels  of  administration  viz.,  Gram Panchayat,  Block,  District  and  the  State.  An  official  of  the  State  Government  is  to  be designated  at  each  level to ensure  disposal  of grievances  to the satisfaction of the complainant. The official who is designated at each level is responsible for disposing off the grievance / complaint within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of the grievance / complaint.  There  is  also  a  procedure  of  lodging  of  complaints  on  the  Centralized  Public Grievance  Redress  and  Monitoring  System  (CPGRAMS)  portal  (pgportal.gov.in).  The complaints received in the Ministry of Rural Development through CPGRAMS or otherwise on  programme  implementation  are  forwarded  to  the  respective  State  Governments/  Union Territory (Union Territory) Administrations for redressal of the grievance.

As on 03.12.2021, a total of 1,097 complaints relating to irregularities in implementation of PMAY-G since  01.01.2018  have  been  received  in  the  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  on CPGRAMS. As the State Govt./UT Administration implement PMAY-G, these complaints have  been sent  to  the  concerned  State  Governments/Union  Territory  (UT)  Administrations for taking necessary action under intimation to this Ministry. Out of 1,097 complaints, 964 have been disposed and remaining 133 are pending  at the level of State Government. The State/UT wise details of number of complaints received, disposed and pending are given at Annexure-II .
