Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna – Gramin (PMAY G)

Public housing programme in the country started with the rehabilitation of refugees immediately after independence and since then, it has been a major focus area of the Government as an instrument if poverty alleviation.To address these gaps in the rural housing program and in view Government’s commitment to provide “Housing for All” by 2022, the scheme of IAY has been re-structured into Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana – Gramin (PMAY-G) w.e.f 1stApril 2016PMAY-G aims at providing a pucca house, with basicamenities, to all houseless households and those households living in kutcha and dilapidated house, by 2022. The immediate objective is to cover Rs.1.00 crore households living in kutcha house/dilapidated house in there years from 2016-17 to 2018-19. The minimum size of the house has been increase to 25 sq.mt (from 20 sq.mt) with a hygienic cooking space. The unit assistance has been increased from Rs.70,000 to Rs1.20 lakh in plains and from Rs.75,000 to Rs.1.30 lakh in hilly states, difficult areas and IAP districts. The beneficiary is entitled to 90/95 persondays of unsk illed labour from MGNREGS. The assistance for construction of toilet shall be leveraged thorugh convergence with SBM-G, MGNREGS or any other dedicated source of funding. Convergence for piped drinking water, electricity connection, LPG gas connection etc, under different Government programmes is also to be attempted.

The cost of unit assistance is to be shared between Central and State Government in the ratio 60:40 in plain area and 90:10 for North Eastern and Himalayan States. From the annual budgetary grant for PMAY-G,95% of funds is to be released to States/UTs for the construction of new houses under PMAY-G. This would also include 4% allocation towards Administrative expenses , 5% of the budgetary grant is to be retained at the Central Level as reserve fund for Special Projects.

One of the most important features of PMAY-G is the selection of beneficiary. Instead of selection a beneficiary from among the BPL households, select beneficiaries using housing deprivation parameters in the Socio Economic and Caste Census (SECC), 2011 data which is to be verified by the Gram Sabhas. The SECC data captures specific deprivation related to housing among households. sing the data households that are houseless and living in 0, 1 and 2 kutcha wall and kutcha roof houses can be segregated and targeted. The Permanent Wait List so generated also ensures that the stateshave ready list of households to be covered under the scheme in the coming year (through Annual Select Lists) leading to better planning of implementation.

Towards better quality of construction, setting up of a National Technical Support Agency (NTSA) at the national level is envisaged. In PMAY-G, programme implementation and monitoring is to be carried out through an end to end e-Governance model Using Awaas Soft and AwaasApp. AwaasApp – a mobile application is used to monitor real time, evidence based progress of house construction through date and time stamped and geo referenced photographs of the house.

All payments to beneficiaries is to be trough DBT to beneficiary’s Bank/Post office accounts registered in AwaasSoft MIS. A willing beneficiary is to be facilitated to avail institutional finance up to Rs.70000/- which would be monitored through the SLBC, DLBC and BLBC. The programme implementation is to be monitored not only lectronically, but also through community participation (Social Audit), Members of Parliament (DISHA Committee), Central and State Government officials, National Level Monitors etc.
