## ANSWER

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

- (a): The  implementation  of  the  Pradhan  MantriAwaasYojana  Gramin (PMAY-G) for 5 more years beyond March, 2024 till March, 2029 for completion of 2 crore more houses to meet the requirement arising from increase in the number of families in rural areas. The landless beneficiaries are accorded top priority under the Pradhan MantriAwaasYojana  Gramin  (PMAY-G). Providing land to the landless  PMAYG  beneficiaries  is  of  utmost  importance  since  they are among the most deserving beneficiaries in the Permanent Wait List of the PMAYG. Under the PMAY-G, as per the provisions of the scheme,  the  State/  Union  Territory  (UT)  shall  ensure  that  the landless  beneficiary  is  provided  land  from  the  government  land  or any  other  land  including  public  land  (Panchayat  common  land, community land or land belonging to other local authorities). For the selected land, adequate infrastructure, viz., electricity, road connectivity and availability of drinking water, solid & liquid waste management facilities, may be ensured by the State/UT Government.

(b): Since  the  land  is  a  State  subject,  the  Ministry  is  not  in  a position  to  frame  a  policy  on  the  matter.  However,  the  Ministry during FY 2021-22 has already requested the States/UTs for constituting  a  Task  force  under  the  chairperson-ship  of  the  Chief Secretary concerned with the Secretary (Revenue) and the Secretary, in- charge of Department dealing with the PMAY-G.

The State Governments of Bihar, Odisha, Maharashtra and Tamil landless

Nadu have been implementing schemes for the beneficiaries under PMAY-G, which are as under:-

- i. The "MukhymantriAwaasSthalKraySahayataYojana" is implemented  in  the  state  of  Bihar.  This  scheme  provides financial assistance of Rs. 60,000 to eligible beneficiaries for purchasing land to construct their own homes.
- ii. "Vasundhara scheme" launched by the State Govt. of Odisha aims  to  provide  land  rights  and  housing  benefits  to  the landless poor, slum dwellers, and vulnerable groups in Odisha.

## iii. The

- "PanditDeenDayalUpadhyayGharkoolJagaKharediArthsahayYoj ana"  of  the  State  Govt.  of  Maharashtra  is  providing  financial assistance  of  Rs.  1,00,000  to  landless  beneficiaries  for  the procurement  of  500  sq  feet  land  for  construction  of  house under PMAY-G.
- iv. The  State  Govt  of  Tamil  Nadu  is  providing  land  to  landless beneficiaries  free  of  cost  for  construction  of  house  under PMAY-G.

The  Ministry in the current  phase  of  PMAY-G  (2024-29)  is monitoring  the  provision  of  land  to  all  landless  beneficiaries  with the states/UTs to ensure allotment of land to landless beneficiaries.

- (c): The state-wise details of landless beneficiaries and the number of those allotted land is given at Annexure.
