## MINISTER OF STATE FOR TRIBAL AFFAIRS (SHRI DURGADAS UIKEY)

(a) & (b): The provision of pucca house to the PVTG households is one of the interventions under the PM JANMAN which is being implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD). For implementation of PM JANMAN, Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) through the  State  Governments/  UT  Administration  has  undertaken  habitation  level  data  collection exercise through PM Gati Shakti mobile application to estimate PVTG population and also gaps in infrastructure including that of housing  The existing guidelines of the abhiyan stipulate that  the  gaps  captured  through  the  mobile  app  are  to  be  cross-verified  by  the  concerned Ministries and State line Departments. Accordingly, PMAY-G houses under the abhiyan are being sanctioned on Awaas Soft portal of MoRD in accordance with established norms of the program.  After  the approval the data is updated/integrated  on  PM  Gati  Shakti  to monitor  sanctions in relation to the gaps.

As per information from MoRD, both the implementation and evidence based monitoring of the PMAY-G scheme is being done through end to end transaction based e-governance model with  the  help  of  AwaasSoft  and  AwaasApp.  All  the  functions  through  identification  of beneficiaries, sanction, release of installments, reporting of completion, etc. are all done on AwaasSoft and using mobile application 'AwaasApp'. The physical and financial progress is monitored through various reports available on AwaasSoft, which is open to the public.

(c)  & (d): As  per information from MoRD, under PMAY-G, there is a grievance redressal mechanism set up at different levels of administration viz., Gram Panchayat, Block, District and  the  State.  The  cases  of  irregularities  reported  by  the  Hon'ble  Members  of  Parliament, Members of State Assembly and general public directly or through CPGRAMS are taken up with the State Government for taking necessary action.
