PMAY Gramin: Scheme extension till March 2024

The centre’s flagship ‘Housing for All’ Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin (PMAY Gramin), has got an extension from the Union Cabinet from March 2021 to March 2024 to achieve the target of constructing 2.95 crore houses. With this continuation of scheme, construction of the remaining 155.75 lakh houses will also get financial assistance to be made into pucca houses with basic amenities.

The central government’s Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin (PMAY-G) project aims to bridge the housing deficit in rural areas of India, while contributing significantly to the mission of Housing for All. Units under the PMAY Gramin are meant for those who cannot afford a property on their own and are living in kutcha houses, with little or no access to basic amenities. As of date, over 50% of the target set by the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) has been met. As of November 29, 2021, 1.65 crore PMAY Gramin houses have been constructed out of the total target of 2.95 crore.
