## ANSWER

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

(a) & (b): In order to achieve the target of 'Housing for All' in rural areas,  the  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  is  implementing  Pradhan MantriAwaasYojana-  Gramin  (PMAY-G)  with  effect  from  1 st April, 2016  to  construct  2.95  crore  houses  by  providing  assistance  to eligible  rural  households with basic amenities. Under PMAY-G, the overall  mandated  target  of  2.95  crore  houses  has  already  been allocated  to  States/UTs,  against  which  more  than  2.946  crore

O.I.H.

houses have already been sanctioned to the beneficiaries and over 2.64 crore houses have already been completed as on 01.08.2024.

The  identification  of  beneficiaries  under  PMAY-G  is  based  on  the housing  deprivation  parameters  and  exclusion  criteria  prescribed under Socio Economic Caste Census (SECC)-2011 and due verification  by  the  respective  Gram  Sabhas  and  completion  of  an Appellate Process. These parameters/criteria was applied on SECC 2011  database  to  identify  eligibility  of  beneficiary  under  PMAY-G. Further, the Government conducted Awaas+ survey through States/UTs  during  January  2018  to  March  2019  to  identify  those beneficiaries  who  claimed  to  have  been  left  out  under  the  SECC 2011  survey  and  thus  prepared  an  additional  list  of  potentially eligible  beneficiaries.  During  Awaas+  survey,  a  total  of  3.90  crore potentially  eligible  households  were  registered  by  the  States/UTs and  after  remanding/verification  by  Gram  Sabhas,  a  total  of  2.79 crore  were  found  potentially  eligible  by  the  States/UTs.  Of  the overall  mandate  of  2.95  crore  households,  2.04  crore  beneficiary households have been identified from SECC 2011 survey database and to fill the gap of 91 lakh households (2.95-2.04), Awaas+ survey database  was  utilized  after  following  due  verification  process  by Gram Sabhas and Appellate Process thereafter.

No  application  from  households  is  required  under  PMAY-G  as beneficiaries  have  been  identified  from  the  PWL  of  PMAY-G  based on SECC 2011 and finalisedAwaas+ list.

(c)  to  (e):  The  Union  Government  has  announced  the  additional  2 crore houses  under PMAY-G to be constructed in the next five years from  FY  2024-25  to  FY  2028-29  to  meet  the  arising  housing requirements  due  to  increase  in  the  number  of  families  in  rural areas across the country.
