Human existence necessitates the provision of housing. A home offers considerable economic and social stability and social prestige for a regular person. A home provides a significant social shift in the life of a person who does not have access to shelter, giving him an identity and allowing him to integrate into his local social environment.

The rural housing program Indira Awas Yojana was renamed under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Gramin and approved in March 2016 to achieve the objective of housing for everyone by 2022. All houseless and families living in decrepit homes are eligible for financial help to build pucca houses under the program. Except for Delhi and Chandigarh, the program would be applied in rural regions throughout India. House costs would be split evenly between the federal government and the states.

Under the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana or the PMAYG, was created to alleviate rural housing shortages by providing pucca homes with basic amenities and a clean kitchen for people who live in them. The PMAYG homes are low-cost and disaster-proof. Houses built under the PMAYG program must be at least 25 square meters in size. The aid cost is split 90:10 into steep regions and 60:40 in plain areas, with 1.20 Lakh and 1.30 Lakh in hilly and straightforward areas.

Objectives of PMAY-G

By 2022, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna program intends to provide a pucca house with basic facilities to all homeless families and those residing in kutcha and decrepit housing for all. From 2016-17 to 2018-19, the immediate goal is to reach Rs.1.00 crore of families living in kutcha houses or dilapidated houses. The minimum home size has been increased to 25 square meters (from 20 square meters) with a clean kitchen. In plains, unit aid has been raised from Rs.70,000 to Rs.1.20 lakh, while in hilly states, complex regions, and IAP districts, it has been raised from Rs.75,000 to Rs.1.30 lakh.

MGNREGS provides 90/95 unpaid personals to the recipient. Convergence with SBM-G, MGNREGS, or any other specific source of financing is required to utilize the support for a toilet building. Convergence for piped drinking purposes, electricity, and LPG gas connections will also be tried through various government programs. The cost of unit aid will be split 60:40 between the federal government and state governments of the plains and 90:10 in the North Eastern and Himalayan states. Ninety-five per cent of the yearly budgeted allocation under Pradhan Mantri Awas yojana is given to States/UTs for new home building under the PMAY-G. This would contain a 4% allocation for administrative costs and a 5% reserve fund for Special Projects at the central level.

The selection of beneficiaries is one of the essential aspects of the PMAY-G and Selecting beneficiaries using housing deprivation criteria in the Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC) 2011 data, which will be validated by the Gram Sabhas and rather than selecting beneficiaries from among BPL families. Household housing for all by deprivation is captured in the SECC statistics. Households without a home living in a kutcha wall or kutcha roof homes may be identified and targeted using the data. The Permanent Wait List guarantees that states have a ready list of families covered under the program in the following year (through Annual Select Lists), allowing for improved implementation planning. A National Technical Support Agency (NTSA) will be established at the national level to enhance the quality of construction.
