## ANSWER

## MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

(a): 'Land' and 'Colonization' are State subjects. Therefore, schemes related to  housing  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.

Based on the learning from the experiences 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 construction of 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries at affordable cost.

PMAY-U  &  PMAY-U  2.0  are  demand  driven  schemes  and  Government  of India  has  not  fixed  any  State/UT-wise  target  for  construction  of  houses. 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 PMAYU 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) and forwarded to Central Sanctioning and Monitoring  Committee  (CSMC)  for  consideration  of  release  of  Central Assistance.

Based  on  the  project  proposals  submitted  by  the  State  Government  of Chhattisgarh,  a  total  of  3.06  lakh  houses  have  been  sanctioned  by  the Ministry  under  PMAY-U  &  PMAY-U  2.0  as  on  22.01.2026,  out  of  which 24,799 houses have been sanctioned during last 12 month under PMAY-U 2.0. Out of total sanctioned houses, 2.62 lakh have been completed so far, of which 10,646 houses have been completed during the last 12 months.

(b): Physical and financial progress under PMAY-U & PMAY-U 2.0 in Durg and Bemetara districts along with Durg Parliamentary constituency of the State  of  Chhattisgarh  are  at  Annexure.  The  progress  of  the  scheme  can also  be  accessed  on  the  PMAY-U  dashboard  (https://dashboard.pmayurban.gov.in).

(c): The  time  period  for  completion  of  projects  generally  takes  12-36 months  in  different  verticals  of  the  scheme  and  as  per  Detailed  Project Reports (DPRs) of respective projects. The completion timeline for houses depends  on  various  factors  like  availability  of  encumbrance  free  land, statutory compliances for start of construction, arrangements of funds by beneficiaries  etc.  The  houses  under  PMAY-U  2.0  have  been  sanctioned during last one year.
