The Story in Brief
The housing and urban affairs ministry says 1.25 crore houses have been sanctioned under PMAY-Urban and PMAY-U 2.0 since 2015, with over 1 crore completed and delivered. Of these, 1 crore houses were allotted to women, either as sole owners or jointly. The 8th CSMC meeting on August 6 approved 2.09 lakh additional houses for EWS families across 16 states and UTs. Under the BLC vertical, 1.42 lakh houses get up to Rs 2.5 lakh financial aid, while 67,045 houses fall under the AHP vertical. Total sanctions under PMAY-U 2.0 now exceed 18.38 lakh.
The Indian Opinion
The government's claim of 1 crore delivered houses under PMAY-U is a number to track, but the real test is occupancy and habitability. Geo-tagging and beneficiary verification often lag behind sanction tallies. The scheme's focus on women ownership is commendable, but does it translate into better living conditions? The next CSMC meeting should reveal how many of these 1 crore homes are actually lived in, not just built.
