**Summary:**
The Ministry of Rural Development is implementing the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana Gramin (PMAYG) with the goal of achieving "Housing for All" in rural areas. Effective since April 1, 2016, PMAYG aims to provide assistance for the construction of 4.95 crore pucca houses with basic amenities by 2029. The Union Cabinet approved the construction of an additional 2 crore rural houses under PMAYG from FY 2024-25 to 2028-29.

The Ministry is actively monitoring PMAYG at all levels, emphasizing quality and timely completion. Steps to improve progress include timely target allocation, a PMAYG analytic dashboard, micro-monitoring using IT tools, regular reviews by officials, focus on houses with disbursed installments, separate reviews for high-target states, timely fund release, and follow-up on land provision for landless beneficiaries.
