## MINISTER OF STATE FOR TRIBAL AFFAIRS (SMT. RENUKA SINGH SARUTA)

(a) to (g): Government is implementing a scheme Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana - Gramin (PMAY-G) through  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  (MoRD),  for  providing  financial  assistance  to  the  eligible beneficiaries for construction of houses.  As informed by MoRD, Under Pradhan Mantri Awaas YojanaGramin (PMAY-G), beneficiaries are provided financial Assistance of Rs.1.20 lakh in plain areas and Rs.1.30 lakh in hilly States (including North Eastern States and UTs of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh), difficult areas and Integrated Action Plan (IAP) districts. Additional assistance of Rs.12,000/- is extended for construction of toilets through convergence with Swacch Bharat Mission - Gramin (SBM-G), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) or any other dedicated source of funding. Further, it is mandatory to provide support of 90/95 person days unskilled wage employment at the  current  rates  to  a  PMAY-G  beneficiary  for  construction  of  his  /her  house  in  convergence  with MGNREGS.  The  PMAY-G  households  are  also  provided  water,  LPG  and  electricity  connections  in convergence with other relevant schemes.

The unit assistance provided to beneficiaries under PMAY-G is as per the approval of the Union Cabinet Mnimum 60% of the target at the national level is earmarked for SC/ST households. To maintain this, 60% of the target allocated to each State / UT is earmarked for SC/STs, subject to availability of eligible PMAYG beneficiaries in the Permanent Wait List (PWL). Within earmarked targets the proportion of SC and ST is decided by the respective States/UTs from time to time.

The State/UT wise details of house constructed under Scheduled Tribe category under PMAY-G during the last five years is given at Annexure 1 .

The details of central assistance funds released under Scheduled Tribes head under PMAY-G during the last three years is given at Annexure 2 .

Providing houses to the eligible ST families is among the priority of the Government. Under PMAY-G, there is a multi-layered prioritization within the universe of eligible PMAY-G beneficiaries.  Priority is first assigned on the basis of parameters reflecting housing deprivation in each category viz., SC/ST and Others. Households are prioritized based on houselessness, followed by the number of rooms; zero, one and two rooms, in that order. In a particular social category viz., SC/ST and Others, households which are houseless or living in houses with lesser number of rooms are not ranked below households living in houses with greater number of rooms.
