## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## (SHRI KAUSHAL KISHORE)

- (a) to  (e):  'Land'  and  'Colonization'  are  State  subjects.  This  Ministry, under the vision of 'Housing for All', supplements the efforts of State/ Union Territory (UT) Governments by providing Central Assistance

under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana- Urban (PMAY-U) for construction of houses  for  all  eligible  urban  families/  beneficiaries  since  25.06.2015. 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).  Details  of  houses  sanctioned, grounded & constructed and Central Assistance sanctioned, released and utilised in Odisha and Tamil Nadu  during the last three years and the current year is at Annexure.

## (f):  The  Ministry  has  taken  following  measures  in  order  to  achieve  the vision of 'Housing for All':

- i. PMAY-U Awards have been instituted with emphasis on grounding, completion, occupancy of houses sanctioned under the scheme.
- ii. Alternative  and  innovative  construction  technologies  have  been promoted under the Scheme for rapid delivery of houses.
- iii. Payment through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) Mode and Aadhaar seeding of beneficiaries is ensured for transparency and accountability.
- iv. Use of Information/ Space Technology through PMAY(U)-MIS (Management  Information  System),  Bhuvan  Portal,  PFMS  (Public Financial  Management  System)  and  Geo-tagging/  Geo-fencing  of sanctioned  houses  are  being  done  for  effective  monitoring  and expeditious release of Central Assistance.

The Ministry  regularly  reviews  the  status  of  implementation  of  PMAY-U with  States/UTs  through  Monthly  Progress  Reports  (MPRs),  Monthly Review  Meetings  and  in the meetings  of Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC).

PMAY-U,  which  was  earlier  upto  31.03.2022,  has  since  been  extended upto  31.12.2024,  except  CLSS  vertical,  to  complete  all  the  sanctioned houses without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology.Accordingly,  States/UTs  have  been  advised  to  expedite  to complete  all  sanctioned  houses  within  the  extended  Mission  period  as per Detailed Project Reports.
