PM Awas Yojana Gramin: Under the scheme, eligible rural families who are living in kutcha houses or homeless as per the Socio Economic and Caste Census (SECC) receive pucca houses.
Overview Of The Pm Awas Yojana Gramin Scheme
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana–Gramin (PMAY-G) scheme was initiated to offer pucca houses to those having kutcha houses in rural areas or homeless. Initiated in 2016, this government of India scheme targets “Housing for All” by 2029 via the construction of 4.95 crore houses.
