Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana–Gramin : Completed Nearly 3 Crore Houses
As of March 2026, Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana–Gramin (PMAY-G) has successfully completed nearly 3 crore houses, marking a major milestone in rural transformation.With an ambitious target of 4.95 crore houses by 2029, the scheme continues to drive inclusive growth, strengthen social welfare, and advance the vision of “Housing for All” in rural India.PMAY-G aims to provide a permanent (pucca) house with basic amenities to all houseless rural households and those living in kutcha or dilapidated dwellings, thereby improving living standards and ensuring dignity and security for the rural poor.
It is implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) and was launched in 2016, restructuring the earlier Indira Awaas Yojana to achieve the goal of “Housing for All.”The selection of beneficiaries involves a thorough three-stage validation process, including the Socio-Economic Caste Census 2011, Gram Sabha approvals, and geo-tagging, ensuring that aid reaches the most deserving individuals.The Centre and states share expenses in the 60:40 ratio in the case of plain areas, and 90:10 for Northeastern states, two Himalayan states (Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand) and the Union Territory(UT) of J&K.
