The Central government on Saturday said that over 37,01,362 houses, under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G), have been allocated to Bihar state since 2016.

According to the Ministry of Rural Development, headed by MoS Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani, the state of Bihar has shown considerable improvement under PMAY-G. In Bihar, since the inception of the scheme on April 1, 2016, the central government has sanctioned 37,01,362 houses. Out of these, 36,58,471 are already constructed, standing at 99% completion.

This information was provided in the Rajya Sabha in response to a question posed by BJP MP Bhim Singh. The maximum number of houses sanctioned in Darbhanga district was 2.15 lakh, out of which 2.13 lakh were completed. On the other end, Sheikhpura district had the lowest number of sanctioned houses, with 21,348 sanctioned and 21,108 constructed.

These statistics provide insight into the extensive coverage and construction efforts carried out by PMAY-G in rural areas of Bihar. PMAY-G aims to achieve the goal of “Housing for All” in rural areas by 2024, constructing 2.95 crore proper houses with basic facilities.

Funds under the scheme are allocated to states based on proposals submitted by them, considering the needs of the beneficiaries, available unspent balances, and program guidelines. Beneficiaries are identified under PMAY-G using SECC 2011, applying housing deprivation parameters and exclusion criteria.

Gram Sabha meetings analyze and confirm the system-generated priority list of households, establishing a Permanent Wait List. Additionally, the Awaas+ survey conducted from January 2018 to March 2019 identified eligible households that missed out on the SECC 2011 list. These households have also undergone Gram Sabha verification and an appellate process to ensure the beneficiary list is complete.

The progress in Bihar has been a landmark in demonstrating the government’s commitment to achieving the objectives of PMAY-G, providing proper, secure, and adequate housing to rural households. The high rate of house completion reflects the effective implementation and monitoring of the scheme, bringing it closer to achieving the goal of “Housing for All.”
