The Story in Brief
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs says 1.25 crore houses have been sanctioned under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U) and PMAY-U 2.0, with over 1 crore completed and delivered. Of these, 1 crore houses were allotted to women, either as sole or joint owners. At the 8th meeting of the central sanctioning committee on August 6, the government sanctioned 2.09 lakh additional houses for economically weaker sections across 16 states. The total sanctions under PMAY-U 2.0 now exceed 18.38 lakh, including 14.40 lakh under the Beneficiary Led Construction vertical.
The Indian Opinion
The government claims 1.25 crore houses sanctioned and 1 crore delivered under PMAY-Urban, with 1 crore allotted to women. These numbers are impressive, but the lazy narrative that this is a one-sided success ignores the gap between sanctions and delivery, 20% still pending. The real test will be the actual occupancy and quality of these houses. Watch for geo-tagging data and beneficiary verification reports to see if these homes are truly lived in and not just built on paper.
