Gwalior opens online applications for 960 PM Awas-2 homes
The Story in Brief
Gwalior Municipal Corporation has started online applications for 960 new homes under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-2 in Manpur. Each unit is estimated to cost Rs 9.5 lakh. Only online applications will be accepted. A family can get only one house, and applicants must have an annual income below Rs 3 lakh and own no permanent home in the urban area.
If eligible applicants exceed the number of homes, allocation will be done through a lottery or a prescribed selection process. The first phase of the scheme in Manpur and Mahalgaon has already been built, but several families are still waiting for allotment. The new phase is expected to help needy families secure their own home.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The scheme brings formal housing to a segment that has long depended on informal rentals or shared roofs in Gwalior. The 9.5 lakh per unit price and the 3 lakh annual income cap define a narrow band of eligibility. The gap between the 960 proposed units and the number of applicants is still unknown. If demand surpasses supply, a lottery will distribute the homes. Left unresolved is what happens to families still waiting from the first phase who are named in the story.
