## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING & URBAN POVERTY ALLEVIATION (SHRI BABUL SUPRIYO)

(a): In pursuance of the Government's vision of facilitating housing to all  by  2022,  the  Government  has  launched  'Pradhan  Mantri  Awas Yojana-Housing  for  All  (Urban)'  Mission  on  25.6.2015.    The  Mission aims  to  provide  assistance  to  States/UTs  in  addressing  the  housing requirement  of  the  slum  dwellers  and  urban  poor  through  following four verticals:

Contd..

- (i)        'In  situ'  Slum  Redevelopment  through  private  participation using land as resource;
- (ii) Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS);
- (iii)  Affordable Housing in Partnership; and
- (iv)    Subsidy  for  beneficiary-led  individual  house  construction  or enhancement.

Land and colonisation being state subjects, no Scheme for providing land for landless has, therefore, been launched by the Government.

- (b): State-wise details of eligible proposals for construction of houses  accepted  for  Central  assistance  under  the  Pradhan  Mantri Awas Yojana-Housing for All (Urban) Mission are annexed.
- (c)  & (d):  No project proposals for seeking central assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Housing for All (Urban) Mission have been received from the State Government of Assam.
