## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE

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

- (a) &  (b):  'Land'  and  'Colonisation'  are  State  subjects.  Therefore, schemes related to housing for their citizens including slum redevelopment/rehabilitation are implemented by States/Union Territories (UTs) in their respective areas. Hence, the data related to the number of evictees displaced and rehabilitated slum dwellers is not maintained by the Ministry.

However, as regards the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD), the slum rehabilitation and/or relocation are done by various land owning  agencies  like  Delhi  Development  Authority  (DDA),  Delhi  Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) etc. under the provisions of various applicable Acts.

As per the information received from DDA, as part of the Slum Rehabilitation  programme,  DDA  has  carried  out  redevelopment  after properly rehabilitating eligible slum dwellers. It involves a total of 5,158 households, out of which a total of 3,414 were found eligible for alternative rehabilitation  as  per  the  DUSIB  policy.  The  eligible  dwellers  have  been provided  with  alternative  rehabilitation  with  all  modern  facilities.  The details of slum rehabilitation carried out by DDA during last five years are at Annexure.

Implementing agencies execute slum rehabilitation projects based on their own land management policies and slum rehabilitation policy of States/UTs.  During  the  slum  rehabilitation  and/or  resettlement,  land owning agencies/implementing agencies and affected families/beneficiaries  may  also  seek  assistance  under  Pradhan  Mantri Awas  Yojana  -  Urban  (PMAY-U)  &  PMAY-U  2.0,  if  beneficiaries  are otherwise  eligible.  DDA  has  implemented  the  rehabilitation  projects through its own funds.

Moreover, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) is supplementing the efforts of States/UTs by providing Central Assistance under PMAY-U since 25.06.2015 for construction of houses for eligible families/beneficiaries including slum dwellers. The scheme was 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).  The scheme  period  has been extended up to 31.12.2025 to complete sanctioned houses without changing the funding pattern and implementation methodology.

Further, based on the learnings from the experiences of implementation of PMAY-U,  MoHUA  has  revamped  the  scheme  and  launched  PMAY-U  2.0 'Housing for All'  Mission with effect from 01.09.2024 to support 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries in urban areas. PMAY-U 2.0 is implemented through four verticals i.e., Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing  in  Partnership  (AHP),  Affordable  Rental  Housing  (ARH)  and Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS).

In  Delhi,  31,346  beneficiaries  have  availed  the  benefit  under  CLSS/ISS component of PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0. Moreover, the CLSS vertical under PMAY-U ended on 31.03.2022.
