## ANSWER

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

- (a)  to  (d):    The  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  is  implementing  the Pradhan MantriAwaasYojana- Gramin (PMAY-G) w.e.f. 1st April 2016 to provide assistance to eligible rural households for the

construction of Pucca houses with basic amenities to achieve the objective of "Housing For All" in rural areas. Under the PMAY-G, the initial target was to provide assistance for the construction of 2.95 crore  houses  during  FY  2016-17  to  2023-24.  The  Government  of India  has  approved  the  implementation  of  the  scheme  during  FY 2024-25 to 2028-29 to provide assistance for the construction of 2

crore additional houses.

As per approval of the Government of India, the timeline for completion of target under the PMAY-G  is  31.03.2029.As  of 28.01.2026,  a  cumulative  target  of  4.14  crore  houses  have  been allocated  under  the  PMAY-G  to  the  States  and  Union  Territories (UTs) against which 3.87 crore houses have been sanctioned, 2.95 crore houses completed and 1.19 crore houses are remaining to be completed against allocated targets. The progress under the PMAYG, State/UT wise, including the States of Maharashtra, UT of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Madhya Pradesh, is given in Annexure.

Under  PMAY-G,  the  Ministry  allocates  targets  to  the  State considering  it  as  one  unit  and  the  District/Block/Gram  Panchayatwise targets are fixed by the State Government. In the ChhatrapatiSambhaji Nagar district, the State Government of Maharashtra  has  fixed  target  of  1,63,132  houses  against  which 1,62,147  houses  have  been  sanctioned  and  47,332  houses  are completed, as of 28.01.2026.

The following steps are taken by the Government to  expedite the completion of houses in all States/UTs, to achieve the targets under PMAY-G:

- (i)  Timely  allocation  of  targets  to  the  States/UTs  and  release  of adequate funds.
- (ii) Regular review of progress at the level of Ministry.
- (iii) Launch of PMAY-G Dashboard for monitoring and supervision of the scheme.
- (iv)  Regular follow ups with the State to ensure release of central and state share of funds and provision of land to landless beneficiaries in rural areas.
- (v)  Awards to the best performing States/UTs, districts and blocks based  on  performance  index  dashboard,  thereby  creating  healthy competition and motivation among the States/UTs for achieving the set targets.

Under the PMAY-G, release of payment of progress linked installments  of  assistance  to  the  beneficiaries  is  using  Aadhaar Payments Bridge.

The following steps are being taken towards ensuring availability of construction materials and quality in construction of houses under PMAY-G:

- (i)  The  beneficiaries  are  being  assisted  in  house  construction  by States/UTs with a bouquet of house design typologies inclusive of disaster  resilient  features  that  are  suitable  to  their  local  geoclimatic conditions, cultural preferences and availability of construction material.
- (ii)  States/  UTs  have also been asked to take necessary steps to ensure  the  sustained  availability  of  good  quality  construction materials.
- (iii)  The  State/UT  may  tap  into  Corporate  Social  Responsibility (CSR)  funding  /  assistance  and  funding  from  bilateral/multilateral agencies  to  promote  environment  friendly  green  construction designs, technologies and materials.
- (iv) The Gram Panchayats may facilitate beneficiaries in accessing materials required for construction at reasonable rates and help in identification of trained masons
- (v)  Further,  Self-Help  Groups  (SHG)  can  undertake  production  of quality building materials for supplying the same to the beneficiaries of PMAY-G at reasonable rates.
- (vi)  The  PMAY-G  converges  with  other  government  schemes  to provide additional support for house construction, including assistance  for  toilet  construction  and  employment  opportunities, etc.

Land is a State subject and under the PMAY-G, the landless beneficiaries  are  accorded  top  priority.  Providing  land  to  the landless PMAY-G beneficiaries for the construction of houses is of utmost  importance  since  they  are  among  the  most  deserving beneficiaries in the Permanent  Wait List (PWL) of  PMAY-G. Therefore,  the  States/UTs  have  been  asked  to  ensure  that  such beneficiary is provided land from the government land or any other land,  including  public  land  (Panchayat  common  land,  community land or land belonging to other local authorities). Landless beneficiaries are also given priority in the ranking of households.

Further, the Ministry provides technical support to the State Governments/UT Administrations in the following manner:

- (i)  End to end monitoring and tracking of transactional processes through AwaasSoft MIS.
- (ii)  Android based mobile application-' Awaas+ App ' for inspection of  houses.  The  application  empowers  officials  and  citizens  to capture  and  upload  geo-referenced  time  stamped  photographs  of the house at various stages of construction thereby reducing time lags in verification.
- (iii) Provision for constitution of dedicated Programme Management Unit (PMU) at State/District/Block level for implementation and monitoring of PMAY-G.
- (iv) Keeping in view the diverse landscape of different States/UTs, PAHAL  -  A  compendium  of  House  Design  Typologies  has  been developed and is available on the website of PMAY-G.
- (v) Regular review meetings and Regional Workshops are conducted  by  the  Ministry  with  the  States/UTs  regarding  various facets of PMAY-G, including sharing of best practices.
