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

(a): In order to achieve ' Housing for All ' in rural areas, the Ministry of Rural Development is implementing Pradhan MantriAwaasYojanaGramin  (PMAY-G)  with  effect  from  1st  April,  2016  to  provide assistance  to  eligible  rural  households  with  an  overall  target  to construct 2.95 crorepucca houses with basic amenities. The beneficiaries under the scheme are identified and selected on the basis of housing deficiency and other social deprivation parameters

- (e) survey?

O.I.H.

in  SECC  2011  data  and  finalisedAwaas+  lists,  and  verified  by  the respective Gram Sabhas. The Awaas+ Survey was conducted by the Ministry of Rural Development through States/UTs. 62894 beneficiaries  were  enlisted  after  conducting  survey  in  346  out  of 537 panchayats of Dahod district in the year 2018-19 under PMAY-G. Further, the state of Gujarat has already been allocated a target of 6,03,343  houses  from  SECC  and  Awaas+,  out  of  which  6,02,054 houses have been sanctioned to beneficiaries and 5,54,000 houses have been completed as on  25.07.2024.

(b):  The  Awaas+  survey  for  all  States/UTs  was  started  in  January, 2018 with the initial deadline of 31st March, 2018. The deadline was extended  4  times  till  30th  June  2018,  30th  September  2018,  30th November 2018 and finally till 7th March, 2019. However. the survey could not be conducted in 235 villages under 191 panchayats which had been reported to the Additional Commissioner (PMAY-G) and the Village Development Officer (Gujarat) was duly intimated. A request from  Govt.  of  Gujarat  was  received  in  June,  2020  for  opening  the Awas+ module to capture  the  entries  of  the  left  out  beneficiaries without any reference to specific district. However, subsequent to 7th March 2019, this Ministry has not allowed any State/UT to carry out any fresh survey beyond the deadline i.e. 7th March 2019 and to include additional households in the Awaas+ database.

(c)  to  (e):  It  has  been  announced in the Union Budget 2024 that 2 crore more houses would be taken up under PMAY-G during the next 5  years  (FY  2024-25  to  2028-29)  to  meet  the  arising  housing requirements  due  to  increase  in  the  number  of  families  in  rural areas across the country.
