The Mangaluru Nagarashraya Samiti is advancing efforts to identify eligible beneficiaries for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) in Idya, a Mangaluru locality, under the central government’s initiative to provide affordable housing to economically weaker sections. In a recent meeting chaired by municipal officials, the Samiti committee laid out the process for finalizing candidates who meet the income and residency criteria outlined in the PMAY scheme.

This initiative aligns with PMAY’s mission to ensure housing for all by offering subsidized housing units for low-income families who lack adequate living accommodations. The Nagarashraya Samiti is currently reviewing applications from potential beneficiaries, with a particular focus on individuals and families with the greatest need. These households will be provided access to quality residential infrastructure within urban housing developments strategically designed to promote social and economic inclusion.

The selection process prioritizes transparency and inclusivity, with verification checks in place to confirm applicant details and ensure that housing units are allocated to those who genuinely require assistance. Once selected, beneficiaries will be able to avail of subsidies and financing options that make home ownership feasible within a structured payment model under PMAY guidelines.

This development reflects Mangaluru’s commitment to expanding housing infrastructure and supporting low-income residents with sustainable living solutions. The Nagarashraya Samiti’s engagement aims to foster community stability by empowering eligible families to own homes, thus contributing to the urban growth agenda and enhancing quality of life in the area. Through PMAY, Mangaluru seeks to address housing gaps for underserved communities, with the ultimate goal of achieving inclusive urban development.
