## ANSWER

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

(a): In  order to achieve the objective of "Housing for All" in rural areas,  the  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  is  implementing  Pradhan MantriAwaasYojana-  Gramin  (PMAY-G)  with  effect  from  1st  April 2016  to  provide  assistance  to  eligible  rural  households  for  the construction  of  pucca  houses  with  basic  amenities.   The  Union Cabinet  has  approved  the  proposal   for   the  continuation  of  the PMAY-G during  FY  2024-25  to  2028-29   for construction  of  2  crore additional  houses. In  the  districts  of  Jhalawar  and  Baran,  49,831

and 26197 houses have been sanctioned respectively under the new phase of the PMAY-G.

The details and total number of houses sanctioned (as on 17.07.2025) under the new phase of Pradhan MantriAwaasYojana Gramin (PMAY-G) is given at Annexure.

- (b): Some of the constraints faced by PMAY-G which caused delay in  implementation  are  nationwide  lockdown  induced  by  Covid-19 when  all  construction  activities  including  construction  of  houses under PMAY-G were affected. Besides this, there have been delays in  release  of  Central  &  State  Share  from  State  Treasury  to  State Nodal Account of PMAY-G, cases of unwillingness of beneficiaries, permanent migration, disputed succession of deceased beneficiaries, delay in allotment of land to landless beneficiaries by the States/UTs and at times General/Assembly/ Panchayat elections, unavailability  of  building  materials.  Despite  all  the  delays,  the scheme  has  been  able  to  achieve  its  major  milestones  and  the Ministry  is  committed  to  achieve  target  of  construction  of  4.95 crorepucca houses by 31st March, 2029.
- (c): Yes.   Under  the  PMAY-G,  The  beneficiaries  are  identified  on the  basis  of  the  housing  deprivation  parameters  and  exclusion criteria  prescribed  in  Socio  Economic  Caste  Census  (SECC)  2011 database and the finalized Awaas+ (2018) survey list. Priority lists thus  prepared  using  SECC  and  Awaas+  data,  are  verified  by  the Gram  Sabha  (GS).  After  disposal  of  all  the  cases  of  a  Gram Panchayat, by the Appellate Committee, the Gram Panchayat wise final  Permanent  Wait  List  (PWL)  for  each  category  with  a  distinct rank for each household, is to be published on the notice board of the  Gram  Panchayat  and  advertised  widely.  The  Permanent  Wait List is then entered on the website  of PMAY-G.   Further, in accordance with the approval of the Union Cabinet, to achieve the additional target of 2 crore houses, the additional eligible beneficiaries  have  been  identified  using  the  Awaas+  survey  2024 using eKYC  face  based  authentication.  To  ensure  no  eligible household  is  left  behind,  the  Awaas  +  2024  app  had  a  feature  of Self-survey.  Further,  the  exclusion  criteria  under  the  PMAY-G  has been modified and reduced the number of exclusion criterias from 13 to 10.
- (d): The  Ministry  is  taking  the  following  initiatives  to  ensure monitoring and timely completion of the houses for smooth implementation of PMAY-G:

- i.  Timely allocation of targets to the States/UTs.
- ii.  Micro  monitoring  of  house  sanction  and  completion  through workflow enabled transaction-based MIS-AwaasSoft, analytic Dashboard and using other IT tools & latest AI/ML technologies.
- iii. Regular review by Minister/ Secretary/ Deputy Director General.
- iv. Separate review of States with high targets.
- v. Timely release of funds to the States/UTs and follow up with the States/UTs for onward release to beneficiaries.
- vi.  Training  to  Rural  Masons  under  Rural  Mason  Training  (RMT) programme to make available pool of trained rural masons for faster construction of quality houses.

vii.   Using  newly  launched  IT  tools  including Awaas+  2024  mobile app which ensures transparent beneficiary identification with Aadhaar-based face authentication.

viii.  AwaasSakhi  mobile  app  designed  to  streamline  access  to PMAY-G  by  consolidating  key  information  and  resources  in  one place.

- ix.  Awards  to  best  performing  States/UTs,  Districts  and  blocks based on dedicated performance index dashboard thereby creating healthy  competition  and  motivation  among  the  States/UTs  for achieving the set targets.
