ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE
MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS
(SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)
(a) to (d) ‘Land’ and ‘Colonization’ are State subjects. Therefore, schemes
related to housing for their citizens are implemented by States/Union
Territories (UTs). However, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs
(MoHUA) supplements the efforts of States/UTs by providing Central
assistance under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana- Urban (PMAY-U) since
25.06.2015 to provide pucca houses with basic civic amenities to eligible
urban households across the country. The implementation period of PMAY-
U was from 15.06.2015 to 31.03.2022 which has been extended upto
31.12.2025 to complete the houses sanctioned without changing the
funding pattern and implementation methodology.
Based on the learnings from the experiences of implementation of PMAY-U,
MoHUA has revamped the scheme and launched PMAY-U 2.0 ‘Housing for
All’ Mission with effect from 01.09.2024 for implementation in urban areas
across the country to construct, purchase and rent a house by 1 crore
additional eligible beneficiaries belonging to economically weaker sections
(EWS), low-income group (LIG), and middle income group (MIG) at
affordable cost.
…2/--2-
