Pradhan MantriAwasYojana-Gramin (PMAY-G)
Context
For the first time, the Union Rural Development Ministry has introduced self-surveys to identify beneficiaries in the second phase of Pradhan MantriAwasYojana-Gramin (PMAY-G). This allows potential beneficiaries to register themselves through a mobile application, Awaas+, designed for data collection.
About the Initiative
- Pradhan MantriAwasYojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) is a flagship rural housing scheme initiated by the Indian government in 2016.
- The scheme is aimed at providing affordable housing to rural households that lack proper housing facilities, focusing particularly on economically disadvantaged sections of the population.
- PMAY-G is designed to ensure that every rural family has a pucca house with basic amenities like sanitation, water, and electricity.
- The first phase of the scheme focused on constructing around 95 crore houses, based on the beneficiary list derived from the 2011 Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC).
- After the success of the first phase, the second phase of the scheme was launched with a revised target to construct 2 crore houses.
- The Union Cabinet allocated a total outlay of ?3,06,137 crore for the second phase in August 2024. This phase also aims to enhance the scope and inclusivity of the scheme.
Progress So Far
- First Phase Completion: Out of the original target of 95 crore houses, about 2.67 crore houses have been completed successfully. This marks a significant achievement in providing housing for rural households.
- Chhattisgarh’s Lagging Progress:Chhattisgarh is the only state that has been unable to meet the target for beneficiaries listed under the SECC 2011, but the state is expected to catch up in the coming months.
- Beneficiaries from SC and ST Communities: Around 5 crore houses out of the completed 2.67 crore are for beneficiaries belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
- Second Phase Target: The government is focusing on completing the survey and beneficiary identification by November 30, 2024 to meet the targets for the second phase.
