As on 29.01.2025, a  cumulative  target  of  3.79  crore  houses  have  been  allotted  to States/UTs  out  of  which  3.28  crore  houses  have  been  sanctioned and 2.69 crore houses have been completed.

The Union Cabinet has approved the proposal for 'Implementation of  the  Pradhan  MantriAwaasYojana-  Gramin  (PMAY-G)  during  FY 2024-25 to 2028-29' for construction of additional 2 crore houses.

- IV. Regular  review  by  Hon'ble  Minister,  Secretary  and  Deputy Director General
- V. Focus  on  completion  of  those  houses  where  3rd  or  2nd installment of funds has been released
- VI. Separate review of States with high targets
- VII. Timely release of funds as per requirements of States/UTs
- VIII. Continuous  follow-up  with  States  /  UTs  on  providing  land  to landless beneficiaries of PMAY-G
