STATEMENT REFERRED IN REPLY TO LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO.  345*  FOR  19.12.2024  REGARDING  'REHABILITATION  OF  SLUM DWELLERS'

- (a) :  Census  of  India  conducts  enumeration  of  population  including slums  on  decadal  basis  in  the  country.  The  last  census  was conducted in 2011, according to which a total of 6.54 crore people comprising of 1.39 crore households were living in slums across the country. The data on number of slums in the country are collected by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO).  As per the last data of slums collected by NSSO in 2012 during the 69 th  Round Survey, the estimated number of slums in the country is 33,510 which includes 13,761 notified slums and 19,749 non-notified slums. The State/UTwise number of slums as per NSSO survey 2012, slum households and  slum  population  as  per  Census-2011  is  at  Annexure.  The State/Union Territory (UT) and City-wise details of population and households  living  in  slums  as  per  Census  2011  are  at  URL https://pmay-urban.gov.in/PHQ/LSSQ-345-19122024-city-wise-slumdetails-census-2011.pdf.
- (b) & (c): 'Land' and 'Colonisation' are State subjects. Schemes related to housing and slum rehabilitation are implemented  by State/UT Governments  in  their  respective  regions.  However,  Ministry  of Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  (MoHUA)  supplements  the  efforts  of States/UTs  by  providing  Central  Assistance  under  Pradhan  Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U) to provide pucca house with basic amenities to eligible urban beneficiaries across the country including slum  dwellers.  Eligible  beneficiaries  can  avail  benefit  of  PMAY-U through  available  four  verticals  i.e.,  Beneficiary  Led  Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), In-Situ Slum Redevelopment (ISSR) and Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS). The scheme  provided  flexibility to the beneficiaries  including  slum dwellers to avail the benefit under any vertical as per the requirement and  eligibility  criteria.  ISSR  vertical  of  PMAY-U  is  specifically  for redevelopment of slum using land as a resource for providing houses to eligible slum dwellers. However, Slum dwellers could take benefit under any one of the verticals.

PMAY-U adopts a demand driven approach and there  are  no  fixed targets. States/UTs assess the requirement through their Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)/Implementing Agencies in their respective jurisdictions, select the beneficiaries based on eligibility criteria and implement  housing  projects.  Based  on  the  demand  survey  and selection  of  beneficiaries,  the  project  proposals  are  prepared  and approved by the State Level Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (SLSMC)  headed  by  the  Chief  Secretary  of  States/UTs  for  further consideration of release of Central Assistance by Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC).

Based on the project proposals submitted by States/UTs, a total of 118.64  lakh  houses  have  been  sanctioned  by  the  Ministry,  out  of which 114.23 lakh have been grounded and 88.32 lakh are completed/delivered  to  the  beneficiaries  including  slums  in  cities across the country along with Smart Cities, as on 02.12.2024. Out of total houses sanctioned under the scheme, about 29 lakh houses have been sanctioned to slum dwellers including 26.05 lakh under AHP/BLC verticals and 2.95 lakh under ISSR vertical of PMAY-U. The number of slum dwelling households sanctioned in each city including the Smart Cities during the last five years, city and year-wise under PMAY-U is at  https://pmay-urban.gov.in/PHQ/LSSQ-345-19122024-city-wise-slumdwellers.pdf.  Out  of  29  lakh  houses,  5.52  lakh  houses  have  been sanctioned for slum dwellers in Smart Cities.

Learning  from  the  experiences  of  PMAY-U,  MoHUA  has  launched PMAY-U 2.0 'Housing for All' Mission with effect from 01.09.2024 to provide  Central  Assistance  to  one  crore  additional  households  to construct,  purchase  and  rent  a  house  at  affordable  cost  in  urban areas across the country through four verticals i.e., Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), Affordable Rental Housing (ARH) and Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS). As on date, 29 States/UTs have signed Memorandum of Agreement (MoA)  to  implement  PMAY-U  2.0  as  per  scheme  guidelines.  The scheme guidelines are available at https://pmayurban.gov.in/uploads/guidelines/Operational-Guidelines-of-PMAY-U2.pdf.
