## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE

## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a): 'Land'  and  'Colonization'  are  State  subjects.  Therefore,  schemes related  to  housing  for  their  citizens  are  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. BeneficiaryLed Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), InSitu 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  PMAYU 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): District-wise details of Central Assistance released and utilised, and number of houses sanctioned, grounded and completed/delivered  to  the  beneficiaries  in  Tamil  Nadu  under  PMAY-U during the last four years are at Annexure.

(d)  &  (e):  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 Tamil Nadu, 6.80 lakh houses have been sanctioned under PMAY-U as on 15.07.2024.  Of  the  sanctioned  houses,  6.63  lakh  houses have been grounded for construction; of which 5.70 lakh are completed/ delivered to beneficiaries. There is no proposal pending from Tamil Nadu with the Ministry for sanctioning of houses for eligible beneficiaries under the scheme.
