## ANSWER

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

- (a) The number of houses sanctioned/allocated and its completion status under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) during the last three years i.e. from Financial Year 2018-19 to 2020-21 in the country including Prayagraj district of Uttar Pradesh and Banswara and Dungarpur of Rajasthan along with the details of Central Share released to the States is given at Annexure-I .
- (b) The Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana- Gramin (PMAY-G) is being implemented w.e.f. 1 st April,  2016  in  rural  areas  across  the  country.  Under  PMAY-G,  a  total  of  1,66,04,079 houses have been constructed in the country, including 22,68,068 & 12,17,543 houses in the States of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan respectively as on 09.12.2021. The State-wise details of  number  of  houses  likely  to  be  constructed  up  to  the  financial  year  2021-22  is  given  at Annexure-II .
- (c) The  State-wise  details  of  total  number  of  houses  sanctioned  to  beneficiaries  and houses completed under PMAY-G during the last three years i.e. from Financial Year 201819 to 2020-21 is given in reply to para (a) above at Annexure-I .
- (d) Under PMAY-G, the funds are transferred to the beneficiary directly into his/ her bank account,  and  the  house  is  constructed  by  the  beneficiary  himself/herself  or  under  his/her supervision. Since there is no provision of construction of PMAY-G houses by contractors, therefore, the issue of blacklisting of contractors does not arise.
- (e)  &  (f)  Under  PMAY-G,  a  total  target  of  2.63  crore  houses  have  been  allocated  to  the States/UTs, out of which 2.13 crore houses have been sanctioned, first installment of funds has been released to 2.01 crore beneficiaries and 1.66 crore houses have been completed as on 09.12.2021. During the period of Covid-19 pandemic induced nation-wide lockdown, all construction  activities  including construction of houses  under  PMAY-G were also affected which retarded the pace of construction of PMAY-G houses. Besides, the delays are also due to delay in release of Central & State Share from State Treasury to State Nodal Account of PMAY-G,  cases  of  unwillingness  of  beneficiaries, migration, disputed succession of deceased beneficiaries, delay in allotment of land to landless beneficiaries by the States/UTs and at times General/Assembly/Panchayat elections, unavailability of building materials. The Ministry is taking the following initiatives to ensure timely completion of the houses under PMAY-G:
- i. Regular  review  of  progress  at  the  level  of  Ministry  to  ensure  timely  completion  of targeted houses.
- ii. The States/UTs have been requested to expedite the completion of houses approved under  PMAY-G  with  specific  focus  and  priority  of  houses  for  which  2nd  and  3rd instalments have been released.
- iii. Daily monitoring on various parameters like Gaps in sanction of houses, cleaning of PWL of PMAY-G and release of Central Share/State Matching Share from treasury to SNA.
- iv. Timely allocation  of  targets  to  the  States/UTs  and  release  of  adequate  funds  at  the level of the Ministry.
- v. Promotion of eco-friendly & innovative technologies for house construction.
- vi. Regular follow ups with the State to ensure release of central and state share of funds and provision of land to landless beneficiaries in rural areas.
- vii. Expeditious resolution of technical issues and other constraints faced by the States.
- viii. Steps  are  being  taken  to  increase  the  coverage  of  Rural  Mason  Training  (RMT) programme which would increase the availability of trained masons leading to faster construction of quality houses.
- ix. Awards  to  the  best  performing  States/UTs,  Districts  based  on  performance  index dashboard, thereby creating healthy competition and motivation among the States/UTs for achieving the set targets.
