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. In addition, daily monitoring of the progress is done on several parameters like gaps in the permission of houses, provision of land to landless beneficiaries, cleaning of the permanent waitlist (PWL) of PMAY-G, gaps in the release of central share or state matching share from the treasury.

Further, the review meetings are being conducted with states also for better knowledge of the restrictions being met and rectifying the same for developing progress of PMAY-G.
