## STATEMENT

STATEMENT REFRRED TO IN REPLY TO LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 256* DUE FOR 11.05.2016 REGARDING VACANT HOUSES.

- (a) :    The  Ministry  has  been  implementing  Jawaharlal  Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Housing for All (Urban) {PMAY-HFA (U)}  schemes  for  extending  central  assistance  to  States/UTs  for providing houses and related civic amenities to urban poor including slum  dwellers.  The  JNNURM  which  was  initially  for  a  seven  year period (2005-2012), has been extended upto 31.03.2017 for completing  on-going  work  only  in  the  projects  sanctioned  upto 31.03.2012. RAY  which  was  started in year 2011, has been discontinued w.e.f. 19.05.2015 and liabilities created thereunder (in respect of 183 on-going projects) have been subsumed in the new mission PMAY-HFA (U) which was launched on 25 th  June, 2015.

No  State-wise  targets  have  been  set  by  this  Ministry  under  these schemes. Construction of 10,32,443 houses has been completed so far under these schemes.  State-wise details of houses sanctioned and  constructed  under  JNNURM,  RAY  and  PMAY  (U)  are  given  at Annexure - I.

- (b) Funds to the tune of Rs 21481.62 crore have been released to States/UTs under JNNURM, RAY and PMAY (U). State-wise details are at Annexure - II.

CONT…

(c) & (d) 2,38,448 houses constructed under JNNURM & RAY all over the country are yet to be occupied by the beneficiaries. Statewise details of these houses are at Annexure - III.

Construction and allotment of houses under these schemes is the responsibility  of  the  State/UT  Governments  concerned.  Due  to reluctance  of  slum  dwellers  /  beneficiaries  to  shift  in  cases  of relocation  projects,  lack  of  /  incomplete  basic  infrastructure  and livelihood sources etc., these vacant houses are yet to be allotted by the concerned States/UTs.

The  Ministry  has  been  reviewing  inter-alia,  the  matter  of  nonoccupancy of the houses in the meetings of Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC) and in review meetings at the level of Secretary (HUPA). Through these reviews, State/UT Governments are advised to expedite allotment of vacant houses to the beneficiaries and submit plan for 100% occupancy.
