## ANSWER

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

- (a)  to  (e):   The  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  is  implementing  the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana -  Gramin (PMAY-G)  w.e.f.  1st  April, 2016  to  provide  assistance  to  eligible  rural  households  for  the construction of Pucca houses with basic amenities to achieve the objective of "Housing for All" in rural areas. Under the PMAY-G, the initial target was construction of 2.95 crore houses during FY 201617 to 2023-24. The Government of India has approved the proposal

for implementation of the scheme for 5 more years during FY 202425 to 2028-29 to provide assistance to 2 crore additional houses.

The  existing  beneficiary  database  of  Maharashtra  as  per SECC 2011 PWL and Awaas+ 2018 survey has already been saturated through allocation of targets by the Ministry. The Ministry has allocated a target of 43,70,829 houses to the state of Maharashtra,  against  which  the  state  has  given  sanctions  to 40,82,626 beneficiaries and 13,80,724 houses have been completed as on 24.07.2025. The Ministry allocates the targets to the State/UT as a whole and District-wise/Block-wise/Gram Panchayat wise targets  are  fixed  by  the  State.  The  district  wise  detail  of  targets fixed  by  the  state,  houses  sanctioned  and  houses  completed, including Washim and Yavatmal districts, as of 24.07.2025, is at the Annexure.

The Government of India has also approved the conduct of an exercise for updating the Awaas+ List for identifying eligible rural households using modified exclusion criteria under the scheme. In line with the approval of the Government of India, a survey is being conducted for the identification of additional eligible rural households under the scheme. The household survey which started on  27th  December  2024,  is  being  conducted  as  per  the  modified exclusion  criteria  through  Awaas+  2024  Mobile  App,  which  was launched  on  17.09.2024. The  initial  timeline  of  Awaas+  2024 household  survey  was  31st  March,  2025  which  was  extended  till 30th  April  2025  and  15th  May  2025  for  all  States/UTs.  Thereafter, the States/UTs who requested for extension in timeline have been granted additional time for completion of survey exercise. For the State  of  Maharashtra,  the  extended  timeline  for  completion  of survey is 31st July 2025.

(f) to (h): Under PMAY-G, the funding pattern for the North Eastern States and Himalayan States of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and  Union  Territory  of Jammu and  Kashmir  (UT) is  90:10  between  Centre  and  State  whereas  for  the  rest  of  the states,  this  ratio  is  60:40  between  Centre  and  State.  For  Union Territories without legislature, 100% funding is borne by the Centre.

ln addition, PMAY-G provisions for administrative funds at 2% of  the  programme  funds  with  bifurcation  of  0.30%  retained  at central level and release of 1.70% to the States/UTs for meeting the administrative expenses as per the Framework for Implementation (FFl) of the PMAY-G.

Within  this  overall  limit  of  2%  administrative  funds,  PMAY-G also provisions additional administrative funds to the North Eastern Region (NER) and Hill States from the central share of funds.

Further, up to 5% of the targets under PMAY-G, are reserved for  Special  Projects.  The  Ministry  allocates  targets  for  Special Projects on the basis of proposals received from States/UTs as per the FFI of PMAY-G.

Further,  the  Ministry  provides  technical  support  to  the  State Governments/UT Administrations in the following manner:

- (i)  End  to  end  monitoring  and  tracking  of  transactional processes through AwaasSoft MIS.
- (ii) Android based mobile application- 'Awaas+ App' for inspection of houses.The application empowers officials and citizens to capture and upload geo-referenced time stamped photographs of the house at  various  stages  of  construction  thereby  reducing  time  lags  in verification.
- (iii) Provision for constitution of dedicated Programme Management Unit  (PMU)  at  State/District/Block  level  for  implementation  and monitoring of PMAY-G.
- (iv)  Keeping in view the diverse landscape of different States/UTs, PAHAL  -  A  compendium  of  House  Design  Typologies  has  been developed and is available on the website of PMAY-G.
- (v) Regular review meetings and Regional Workshops are conducted by  the  Ministry  with  the  States/UTs  regarding  various  facets  of PMAY-G including sharing of best practices.
