## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d) 'Land' and 'Colonization' are State subjects. Therefore, schemes related  to  housing  for  their  citizens  are  implemented  by  States/Union Territories  (UTs).  However,  the  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban  Affairs (MoHUA)      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 eligible urban households across the country, including Manipur.

Based on the learning from the experience of 9 years 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 for 1 crore additional eligible  beneficiaries  for  implementation  in  urban  areas  across  the country.

PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 are demand driven schemes. Under the schemes, States/UTs  conduct  demand  survey  in  their  respective  jurisdiction  and validate the beneficiaries to ascertain eligibility. In order to ensure that the  scheme  effectively  addresses  the  housing  needs  of  urban  poor,  a Unified Web-portal has been developed by the Ministry under PMAY-U 2.0. Eligible citizens are also allowed to apply through Unified Web Portal and register their demand. States/UTs/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) validate the beneficiaries as per the eligibility criteria of the scheme guidelines and selection/  scrutiny  of  beneficiary  list  is  done  at  multiple  levels  in  the States/UTs.    After  fulfilling  the  procedures  laid  down  in  the  Scheme Guidelines,  the  houses  are  approved  by  State  Level  Sanctioning  and Monitoring Committee (SLSMC) headed by the Chief Secretary of States /UTs  and  forwarded  to  Central  Sanctioning  and  Monitoring  Committee (CSMC)  for  consideration  of  release  of  Central  Assistance.  State/  UT Governments can include Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) as beneficiaries  under  the  scheme  provided  they  are  otherwise  eligible  as per the criteria prescribed in the Scheme guidelines.

Based  on  the  proposals  received  by  the  State  of  Manipur,  a  total  of 56,045 houses (including 3,526 under PMAY-U 2.0) have been sanctioned by the Ministry in the State under PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 involving Central assistance  of  ₹867.95  Cr.  Out  of  total  sanctioned  houses  49,846  have been grounded for construction and 20,591 have been completed/delivered to the beneficiaries as on 24.11.2025. Central assistance of ₹582.36 cr. has been released to the State so far, of which ₹468.53 cr. has been utilised by the State.
