Mission duration was 7 years from 2005-06  which  has  been  extended  upto  March,  2017  for  completion  of projects sanctioned upto March, 2012.

The Government after consultations with various stakeholders including State  Governments,  industry  associations,  Urban  Local  Bodies  etc.  has launched Housing for All (Urban) Mission (Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana) on 25.06.2015 in pursuance of Government's vision of facilitating housing to all  by  2022  in  the  urban  areas.  The  Mission  aims  at  addressing  the housing requirement of the slum dwellers and urban poor. A provision of basic  amenities  including  toilet  facility  has  been  made  essential  for  all houses built or expanded under the Mission.

- (d) and (e):   Based on the surveys on Housing Condition conducted during NSS 58th round (July, 2002 - December, 2002) and 69th round (July, 2012 -  December,  2012)  number  of  households  living  in  urban  slum  areas  for Delhi  has  been  estimated  as  2,23,200  during  2002  and  1,15,000  during 2012.    No  separate  estimate  for  NCR  is  available.  The  district-wise estimates of number of households in urban slum areas are not computed due to considerations of sample size in NSS surveys.
