In its first meeting, the new Modi government has announced a significant expansion of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) housing scheme. The Union Cabinet has approved government assistance for the construction of an additional three crore houses for eligible rural and urban families.
This decision aims to address the growing housing needs of the nation. Since 2015-16, the PMAY scheme has been a key initiative in providing affordable housing solutions for low-income families. The additional three crore houses will further contribute to the government's vision of "Housing for All." This significant increase brings the total target to an impressive seven crore homes under PMAY.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the decision, calling it a boost for "ease of living" and dignity for millions of Indians. He emphasized the government's dedication to ensuring a better quality of life for all citizens. This expansion of PMAY highlights their commitment to inclusive growth and social welfare.
Over the past ten years, the PMAY scheme has already delivered significant results. A total of 4.21 crore houses have been completed for eligible families under various housing programs. These houses come equipped with essential amenities like toilets, cooking gas connections (LPG), electricity, and running water. This is achieved through collaboration with other central and state government schemes, ensuring a well-rounded approach to improving living standards.
The expansion of PMAY promises a brighter future for millions of families across India. With access to affordable and well-equipped homes, these families can experience a significant improvement in their living standards. The focus on inclusive growth ensures that everyone has the opportunity to own a safe and secure place to call home, with a target of seven crore homes under PMAY.
