## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (DR. CHANDRA SEKHAR PEMMASANI)

(a): In  order to achieve the objective of "Housing for All" in rural areas,  the  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  is  implementing  Pradhan MantriAwaasYojana-  Gramin  (PMAY-G)  with  effect  from  1st  April 2016 to provide assistance to 4.95 crore eligible  rural  households with basic amenities by  March 2029. Under the scheme,  a cumulative  target  of  9,57,825  houses  have  been  allotted  to  the State  of  Tamil  Nadu  out  of  which  7,36,610  houses  have  been sanctioned and  6,63,247  houses  have  been  completed  as  on 28.01.2026.

The  district -wise details  of targets allocated ,  houses sanctioned  and  houses  completed  in  Tamil  Nadu   under  PMAYG (including Kanchipuram& Chengalpattu) are given in Annexure-I.

(b) & (c): Under  PMAY-G,  the  beneficiaries  are  identified  on  the basis of the housing deprivation parameters and exclusion criteria prescribed in Socio Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011 database and  the  finalized  Awaas+  (2018)  survey  list.  Priority  lists  thus prepared  using  SECC  and  Awaas+  data,  are  verified  by  the  Gram Sabha (GS). After disposal of all the cases of a Gram Panchayat, by the Appellate Committee, the Gram Panchayat wise final Permanent Wait  List  (PWL)  for  each  category  with  a  distinct  rank  for  each household,  is  to  be  published  on  the  notice  board  of  the  Gram Panchayat and advertised widely. The Permanent Wait List is then entered on the website of PMAY-G.

Further, in accordance with the approval of the Union Cabinet, to  achieve  the  additional  target  of  2  crore  houses,  the  additional eligible  beneficiaries have been identified using the Awaas+ survey 2024  using  e-KYC  face  based  authentication  through  the  Awaas+ 2024 mobile app and with modified exclusion parameters. To ensure no  eligible  household  is  left  behind,  the  Awaas  +  2024  app  had  a feature of Self-survey.

As  per  provisions  of  the  PMAY-G,  there  is  earmarking  of minimum 60% of the targets  for  Scheduled  Caste  (SC)/  Scheduled Tribe (ST) beneficiaries. However, there is no separate earmarking of  targets  for  Minorities  &  these  beneficiaries  are  part  of  "Others category" of beneficiaries.

Parliament  Constituency  wise  details  of  PMAY-G  are  not maintained.  The  number  of  beneficiaries  belonging  to  Scheduled Castes,  Scheduled  Tribes  and  "Others  category" in  Chengalpattu and Kanchipuram districts of KanchipuramLokSabha Constituency is as under:

|      |               |                           | Sanctioned by States   | Sanctioned by States   | Sanctioned by States   | House completion   | House completion   | House completion   |

| S.No | District Name | Target fixed by Districts | ST                     | SC                     | Others                 | ST                 | SC                 | Others             |
| 1    | CHENGALPATTU  | 25179                     |                        | 74821271               | 10229                  |                    | 72019332           | 9635               |
| 2    | KANCHIPURAM   | 37658                     | 378                    | 6608                   | 5114                   | 374                | 6477               | 5055               |

(d): In  order  to  provide  PMAY-G  beneficiaries  with  the  maximum number  of  benefits  from  different  schemes,  convergence  with  other schemes  is encouraged. As per the guidelines of the  scheme, construction  of  toilets  to  be  leveraged  through  convergence  with Swachha Bharat Mission- Grameen (SBM-G), or any other dedicated source of funding.

- iii. Monitoring of house sanction and completion using the latest IT tools and technologies.
