STATEMENT IN REPLY TO PART (a) to (d) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 127 TO BE ANSWERED ON 26.07.2022 REGARDING BENEFICIARIES UNDER PMAY-G

(a) Under PMAY-G, the target is the construction of 2.95  crore houses  to achieve the objective of “Housing for All” in rural areas. Under PMAY-G, the beneficiaries have been identified based on the housing deprivation parameters prescribed under Socio Economic Caste Census (SECC) 2011. After due verification by the Gram Sabha and completion of Appellate Process, Gram panchayat-wise Permanent Wait List (PWL) is prepared. The auto generated priority list of households from SECC, 2011 database was provided to the States/Union Territories (UTs) for conducting Gram Sabha meetings to finalize the PWL. As on 20.07.2022, a total of 2.15 crore households have been identified and included in PWL from SECC, 2011. Further, the details of such households who claimed to be left out from the SECC 2011 based PWL and eligible for inclusion in PWL, have been captured in the Awaas+ Survey, 2018. The Survey was conducted during January, 2018 and 7th March, 2019. In this exercise, the States/UTs have uploaded details of additional households. In order to fill the gap of 80 lakh houses (2.95C- 2.15), Awaas+ data is being utilized. Out of this, a target of 63.68 lakh has been allocated to the States/UTs till date.

No application from households is required under PMAY-G as beneficiaries are identified from the PWL of PMAY-G based on SECC 2011 and finalised Awaas+ list.

(b) The State-wise details of target fixed and achievement made under the scheme till date is given in Annexure.

(c) & (d) The Ministry has taken the following initiatives to ensure timely completion of the houses under PMAY-G:

• Regular review of progress at the level of Ministry.
• Launch of PMAY-G Dashboard for monitoring and supervision of the scheme.
• Timely allocation of targets to the States/UTs and release of adequate funds.
• 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.
• Awards to the best performing States/UTs, Districts based on performance index dashboard, thereby creating healthy competition and motivation among the States/UTs for achieving the set targets.
