(a): As per information provided by the Office of Registrar General of India (RGI), slum population in Delhi has decreased  from 18,51,231  (Census  2001)  to  16,17,239  (Census  2011).    Details  of slum population of million plus Cities (as per Census 2001 & Census 2011) are at Annexure-I.

(b): In pursuance of the Government's vision of facilitating housing to all by 2022, the Government has launched 'Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY)-Housing for All (HFA) (Urban)' Mission on 25.6.2015.

Contd…

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:

- (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.

To fast  track  the  implementation  of  the  Mission,  this  Ministry  has requested  all  State/UT  Governments  including  the  Government  of National Capital Territory (GNCT) of Delhi to complete the formalities/activities necessary for seeking central funds under the Mission.    The  GNCT  of  Delhi  has,  however,  not  completed  the requisite  formalities/activities  and  has  also  not  submitted  any project proposal under the Mission.

- (c): The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation constituted  a  Technical  Group  (TG-12)  on  estimation  of  urban housing shortage of the country for the 12 th  Five Year Plan (201217).  As per the report of this Committee, the total housing shortage estimated at the beginning of 12 th Plan Period i.e. in 2012, was 18.78 million.
