## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT

(DR. CHANDRA SEKHAR PEMMASANI)

(a) to (d): Yes,  the  Ministry  of  Rural  Development  has  received proposals  from  the  State  Government  of  Telangana  requesting  for allocation of targets under the Pradhan MantriAwaasYojana-Gramin (PMAY-G). The proposals have been duly examined in the Ministry, and replies have been furnished to the State. The Ministry of Rural Development has not allocated any target to the State of Telangana under the PMAY-G,  at  present, due to the reasons given in succeding paras.

The  State  of  Telangana  was  allocated  a  target  of  70,674 houses for the financial years 2016-17 and 2017-18 under Pradhan MantriAwaasYojanaGramin (PMAY-G) and an amount of Rs. 190.79 crores  were  also  released  as  1st  installment  of  Central  Share against the targets of FY 2016-17 for implementation of the scheme. However,  the  State  of  Telangana  did  not  implement  the  PMAY-G Scheme  and  refunded  the  amount  of  Rs.  190.79  crores  to  the Government of India. Also, the State had not conducted the Awaas + 2018 survey during January 2018 to March 2019 and hence eligible households under PMAY-G in the State could not be identified. Thus, no targets could be allocated to the State.

Further,  Government  of  Telangana  has  communicated  its willingness to implement PMAY-G in the State during the FY 202425. The Ministry has facilitated the State in the conduct of Awaas + 2024 survey for identification of potential eligible rural households under PMAY-G using Awaas+ 2024 Mobile application. The household  survey  has  been  completed  in  the  State  and  11,56,929 households  have  been  surveyed  in  the  State  including  59  SelfSurvey cases.

At present all the States/UTs including Telangana, are conducting corroboration of Self-survey cases, verification of survey cases flagged by the System and deletion of ineligible households as per the guidelines issued by this Ministry and modules provided in  AwaasSoft  Management  Information  System  (MIS)  and  Awaas+ 2024 Mobile Application. All the activities including corroboration of Self-survey  cases,  verification  of  survey  cases  through  Checker Module  and  deletion  of  ineligible  beneficiaries  through  Deletion Module  needs  to  be  completed  prior  to  preparation  of  Panchayatwise  System  Generated  Priority  lists  from  the  Awaas  +  2024 household  survey.  Thereafter the procedure  prescribed  in the existing  Framework  for  Implementation  (FFI)  of  PMAY-G  is  to  be followed  for  finalization  of  the  Permanent  Wait  List  (PWL)  by organizing  Gram  Sabha  meetings  and  completion  of  the  Appellate process.  Thus,  the  State  of  Telangana  is  not  eligible  for  target allocation under the PMAY-G at present.
