## ANSWER

## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)

(a) to (f): Land' and 'Colonization' are State subjects. Schemes related to housing  for  urban  poor  in  their  respective  areas  are  implemented  by States/UTs.  However,  the  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  is supplementing the efforts of States/UTs by providing Central Assistance under  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana-  Urban  (PMAY-U)  'Housing  for  All' Mission since 25.06.2015 to provide pucca houses with basic amenities to all eligible urban beneficiaries especially to Economically Weaker Section (EWS) families/households including homeless.

PMAY-U is a demand driven scheme and Government of India has not fixed any target for construction of houses. Implementation of the PMAY-U Scheme  in  States/UTs  including  assessment  of  demand,  formulation  of projects,  selection  of  beneficiaries  etc.  are  done  by  the  respective State/UT Governments as per scheme guidelines.

Based  on  the  project  proposals  submitted  by  States/  UTs,  as  on 29.01.2024, 118.63 lakh houses ,including 10.05 lakh houses in the State of  Gujarat,  have  been  sanctioned under PMAY-U, out of which 114 lakh have  been  grounded  for  construction;  of  which  80.02  lakh  have  been completed and  delivered to beneficiaries. Details of houses sanctioned, grounded and completed during the last three years in Dahod Parliamentary Constituency in Gujarat is at Annexure.

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.
