Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, Minister of State for Rural Development, said in the Lok Sabha, that against the aim of 2.02 crore houses allotted under the scheme till the financial year 2020-21, 1.50 crore homes or 75% have been achieved.

Additionally, a total of over 12.20 lakh homes have been made during the year 2021-22 against an approximated aim of construction of 44.09 lakh homes under the scheme, the minister for state added.

The ministry of rural development is executing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana- Gramin (PMAY-G) to help eligible rural households to construct 2.95 crore pucca homes with basic facilities to accomplish the aim of “Housing for All”.

According to the statement, the rural development ministry is conducting regular virtual meetings with the states and UTs to evaluate the growth of the scheme.
