Another milestone crossed!

The changing face of the urban space by implementation of flagship urban missions is bringing about a transformational change in the country & ease in the lives of citizens.

#1croreandmore

We are closer than ever to reaching the dream of #HousingForAll by 2022 of Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji.

We have crossed the milestone of sanctioning 1 crore homes under @PMAYUrban in the 50th CSMC meeting.

PMAY Urban is one of the largest affordable housing programmes in the world.

Till date, over 60 lakh houses had been taken up for construction & more than 32 lakh have been completed/ delivered.

The mission has covered a range of social groups which comprises of around 5.8 lakh senior citizens, 2 lakh construction workers, 1.5 lakh domestic workers, 1.5 lakh artisans, 0.63 lakh differently-abled (Divyang), 770 transgender & 500 leprosy patients till date.

The mission promotes a synergetic partnership of the people, private & Governments.
Central Government has made a provision for raising Extra Budgetary Resources to the tune of Rs. 60,000 cr of which, Rs. 38,000 cr have already been raised and disbursed.

The construction activity under the Missionp has had a huge impact on the other sectors of the economy with a multiplier effect in employment generation. Approximately around 1.2 cr employment has been generated through forward and backward linkages.

Mission is growing with the introduction of alternative & innovative technologies for construction through @GhtcIndia which will provide speedier & cost effective ways for climate resilient construction.

A campaign for behavioural change among #PMAYUrban beneficiaries - Angikaar was launched by @MoHUA_India.
Currently more than 15 lakh households have been covered with outreach of about 75 lakh citizens of the country through Angikaar.
