Shri Manohar Lal, Hon’ble Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs, launched “Angikaar 2025”, a last-mile
outreach campaign under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban 2.0 (PMAY-U 2.0), in New Delhi on 4th

Angikaar 2025 is an outreach campaign that will accelerate the implementation of PMAY-U 2.0 by creating
widespread awareness about the scheme across the country. The campaign is also designed to fast-track
verification of applications under the scheme and expedite the completion of already sanctioned houses under
PMAY-U.
Another key objective of Angikaar 2025 is to inform stakeholders about the Credit Risk Guarantee Fund Trust
for Low Income Housing (CRGFTLIH) scheme. The campaign will ensure last-mile delivery and holistic
development outcomes through active community mobilisation, targeted engagement and convergence with
other Government of India schemes. Additionally, benefits of the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana will be
provided to beneficiaries of PMAY-U and housing needs of beneficiaries from Special Focus Group identified
under PMAY-U 2.0 will be prioritised.
Under PMAY-U, 120 lakh houses have been sanctioned, out of which 94.11 lakh pucca houses have been
already completed and delivered to beneficiaries. Angikaar 2025 campaign will facilitate the completion of
the other remaining houses. Aligning with the goal of ‘Housing for All’, the scheme was revamped and
launched as PMAY-U 2.0 in September 2024. Under PMAY-U 2.0, one crore additional families of urbanIndia will receive financial support of up to ₹2.50 lakh by the Government to construct or purchase a pucca
house in cities.
Angikaar 2025 reaffirms the Government’s commitment to bring welfare schemes closer to the people by
bridging the implementation gap. It will reach out to the vulnerable sections of society to provide benefits of
the housing scheme.
Angikaar 2025 will run for a period of two months from 4th September 2025 to 31st October 2025 across
5,000+ Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in the country. Widespread door-to-door awareness will be created across
the country and by other outreach mediums and community mobilisation. It will feature a line-up of camps,
loan melas, and cultural events designed to engage prospective beneficiaries and other related stakeholders to
participate in the Jan Bhagidari movement.
Post the launch of Angikaar 2025, Shri Kuldip Narayan, JS&MD, HFA chaired a meeting with State/UT
officials to discuss about the strategies and methods to ensure effective implementation of the campaign.
As part of the campaign, PMAY-U Awas Diwas will be celebrated on 17th September 2025 to mark the first
year of launch of PMAY-U 2.0. Additionally, an anchor event named “PM Awas Mela – Shehri” will be held
at District Headquarters. In case of larger cities, the PM Awas Mela - Shehri would be organised at the
Municipal Corporation level. The anchor event will be conducted in two phases – the first phase from 17th
September 2025 to 27th September 2025 and the second phase will be any day between 16th October 2025 to
31st October 2025.
This flagship event will serve as a vibrant platform for delivering and showcasing the benefits of PMAY-U
and PMAY-U 2.0 while promoting convergence and community outreach at the grassroots level. PM Awas
Mela - Shehri will feature a wide array of services and vibrant community engagement activities. In addition
