Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana–Gramin (PMAY-G) remains a useful UPSC topic because it combines a major rural housing scheme with convergence across sanitation, drinking water, electricity, clean cooking, and livelihoods. A written reply in Lok Sabha has added fresh implementation data on houses sanctioned, completed, and under construction, along with central fund releases and reported social outcomes.
What the Lok Sabha reply said
The Ministry of Rural Development said state and Union Territory-wise details of houses sanctioned, completed, and under construction under PMAY-G for the last five years, from 2021-22 to 2025-26, are available in annexures. The reply also said cumulative progress as on 16.07.2026 is available separately, along with state-wise financial assistance released and tentative allocation for 2026-27.
The Ministry said a total Central share of ₹1,34,242.45 crore was released to States and Union Territories during the last five years under PMAY-G. The reply named Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra among the major recipients of central assistance.
Convergence model under PMAY-G
PMAY-G is not only a housing scheme. The Ministry said the scheme is linked with other rural programmes so that a beneficiary household can obtain multiple basic services around the same time.
