## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)

(a) to (c): Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) is implementing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U) since June 2015 to provide all-weather pucca  house  with basic amenities to all eligible urban households of the country. PMAY-U is a demand driven scheme and based on  the  demand  for  housing  in  the  urban  areas,  States/Union  Territories (UTs)  prepare  project  proposals  and  submit  to  the  Ministry  in  a  phased manner  for  sanctioning  of  admissible  Central  Assistance.  Based  on  the project  proposals  submitted,  Details  of  houses  sanctioned,  grounded  and completed under PMAY-U in Balangir, Odisha and Jalpaiguri, West Bengal during last three years and since inception are at Annexure-I.  Details of

houses sanctioned, grounded and completed under PMAY-U in Odisha and West  Bengal  during  the  last  three  years  and  since  inception  are  at Annexure-II.

(d): The Ministry has taken following measures in order to achieve the vision of 'Housing for All':

- i. PMAY-U Awards have been instituted with emphasis on grounding,  completion,  occupancy  of  houses  sanctioned  under the scheme.
- ii. Alternative and innovative construction technologies have been promoted under the Scheme for rapid delivery of houses.
- iii. Payment through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) Mode and Aadhaar seeding of beneficiaries is ensured for transparency and accountability.
- iv. Use  of  Information/  Space  Technology  through  PMAY(U)-MIS (Management Information System), Bhuvan Portal, PFMS (Public Financial Management System) and Geo-tagging/ Geo-fencing of sanctioned  houses  are  being  done  for  effective  monitoring  and expeditious release of Central Assistance.

The Ministry regularly reviews the status of implementation of PMAY-U with  States/UTs  through  Monthly  Progress  Reports  (MPRs),  Monthly Review  Meetings  and  in  the  meetings  of  Central  Sanctioning  and

Monitoring Committee (CSMC).

PMAY-U, which was earlier upto 31.03.2022, has since been extended upto 31.12.2024, except CLSS vertical, to complete all the sanctioned houses  without  changing  the  funding  pattern  and  implementation methodology. Accordingly, States/UTs have been advised to expedite to complete all sanctioned houses within the extended Mission period as per Detailed Project Reports.
