## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a) 'Land' and 'Colonization' are State subjects. Therefore, implemented  by States/Union  Territories  (UTs).  However,  Ministry  of  Housing  and Urban  Affairs  supplements  the  efforts  of  States/UTs  by  providing Central  assistance  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana-  Urban (PMAY-U) since 25.06.2015 to provide pucca houses with basic civic amenities to all eligible urban beneficiaries across the country.  The details of the PMAY-U are as follows:
- i. The scheme is implemented through four verticals i.e. Beneficiary-Led  Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing  in Partnership  (AHP),  In-Situ  Slum  Redevelopment  (ISSR)  and Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS).

- ii. The  Mission covers the entire urban area consisting of Statutory Towns, Notified Planning Areas, Development areas falling  under  the  jurisdiction  of  Special  Area  Development Authorities,  Industrial  Development  Authorities  or  any  such authority  under  State  legislation  which  is  entrusted  with  the functions of urban planning & regulations.
- iii. All  houses  under  PMAY-U  have  basic  amenities  like  toilet, water supply, electricity and kitchen.
- iv. The Mission promotes women empowerment by providing the ownership  of  houses  in  name  of  female  member  or  in  joint name.
- v. Preference  is  also  given  to  differently-abled  persons,  senior citizens, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, Minority, single women, transgender and other weaker & vulnerable sections of the society.
- vi. A comprehensive and Robust MIS System is in place that helps all stakeholders to seamlessly manage information pertaining to  physical  and  financial  progress  including  storing  various records through digitisation such as Survey, Project information, Beneficiary details, fund utilisation etc. All houses under BLC/ AHP/ ISSR are geo-tagged to track actual progress on ground.
- vii. MoHUA  has  set  up  a  Technology  Sub-Mission  (TSM)  under PMAY-U to facilitate adoption of modern, innovative and green technologies  and  building  materials  for  faster  and  quality construction of houses.

Operation guidelines of PMAY-U is available at https://pmayurban.gov.in/uploads/guidelines/62381c744c188-Updated-guidelines- of-PMAY-U.pdf

(b)&(c):  PMAY-U  is  a  demand  driven  scheme  and  Government  of India has not fixed any target for construction of houses under the scheme.  Based  on  the  demand  for  housing  in  the  urban  areas, States/UTs  prepare  project  proposals  and  after  approval  of  State Level  Sanctioning  and  Monitoring  Committee  (SLSMC),  these  are submitted  to  the  Ministry  for  sanctioning  of  admissible  Central Assistance by Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC). Based on the project proposals submitted by the State of Maharashtra, 13.64 lakh houses have been sanctioned under PMAYU  as  on  15.07.2024.  Of  the  sanctioned  houses,  11.16  lakh  houses have  been  grounded  for  construction;  of  which  8.55  lakh  are completed/  delivered  to  beneficiaries.  During  the  last  five  years 7,87,148 lakh  houses  have  been  sanctioned.  The  district  wise details of houses sanctioned, grounded and completed/delivered to the  beneficiaries  in  Maharashtra  during  the  last  five  years  is  at Annexure.
