## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (DR. CHANDRA SEKHAR PEMMASANI)

(a): The Ministry of Rural Development is implementing the Pradhan  MantriAwaasYojana  -  Gramin  (PMAY-G)  w.e.f.  1st  April, 2016  to  provide  assistance  to  eligible  rural  households  for  the construction of Pucca houses with basic amenities to achieve the objective of "Housing for All" in rural areas. Under the PMAY-G, the initial target was construction of 2.95 crore houses during FY 201617 to 2023-24. The Government of India has approved continuation of implementation of the scheme for 5 more years during FY 2024-25 to 2028-29 to provide assistance to 2 crore additional houses as per the existing unit assistance.

Under PMAY-G, a target of 9,02,354 houses has been allocated to the state of Gujarat, against which the state has given sanctions to 8,29,202 beneficiaries and 5,88,790 houses have been completed as on 24.07.2025.

(b): The  benefit  of  the  scheme  is  being  provided  to  the  most vulnerable   eligible  beneficiaries  based  on  the  housing  deficiency and other social deprivation parameters prescribed in Socio Economic Caste Census (SECC) - 2011. Further, a minimum of 60% of the target allocated to each State/UT is earmarked for Scheduled Caste (SC)/Scheduled Tribes (ST) households subject to availability of  eligible  beneficiaries  in  the  Permanent  Wait  List   (PWL).  The earmarking defines only the minimum limit that should be achieved and if the States/UTs so desire they may add to target under these categories to ensure saturation.

The Ministry allocates the targets to the State/UT as a whole and District-wise/Block-wise/Gram Panchayat wise targets are fixed by the State (including tribal dominated districts).   The district wise details of targets allocated, houses sanctioned and houses completed in Gujarat (including the tribal dominated districts) is at Annexure.

(c): Release  of  installments  to  a  beneficiary  is  dependent  upon completion of a pre-determined stage of construction and uploading of geo-tagged, time and date stamped photograph of that stage on AwaasSoft through AwaasApp. Under the PMAY-G, it is mandatory to upload geo-tagged photographs with time and date at each stage of  house  construction,  including  geo-tagging  of  the  'existing  site' and  'proposed  site'  before  house  sanction.  The  AwaasApp  mobile application of the Ministry facilitates the same.
