What is PMAY – Gramin?

PMAY or Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana is a housing scheme introduced by the Indian Government in 2015. This initiative was taken to provide affordable housing to the urban poor. It aims to build at least 2 crore houses for individuals who do not have a pucca house.

This aim to provide housing to the economically marginalised families residing in urban areas, known as PMAY – Urban, was converged with Indira Awas Yojana, now restructured as Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Gramin. Indira Awas Yojana was introduced in 1985 by the UPA government under the leadership of Rajiv Gandhi.

PMAY – Gramin is a social welfare programme endorsed by the Government of India under which it intends to provide beneficiaries with housing units. These units will have a minimum area of 25 sq. metre and feature basic amenities. These houses are built, keeping in perspective the geo-climatic and socio-cultural factors.

Who Creates the PMAY Gramin List?

The process of identification, prioritisation, and if necessary, elimination of households from the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Gramin list is conducted by a Gram Sabha or the lowest rung of local self-government of a region.

A household or family is eliminated when it does not qualify as a beneficiary but has been mistakenly included, has built a pucca house, permanently relocated to another state, has a house allotted under any other government housing scheme, or has died since the last census with no heir or successor.

Houses will be provided on priority to families as per their deprivation score. Landless or homeless families have the highest deprivation score due to their socio-economic and living conditions.

In case two households have the same deprivation score, the concerned authority considers the following parameters to decide who should rank higher.

1. Families with widows and next-of-kin of police forces or defence or paramilitary who have been killed in action.
2. Families with only one female child.
3. Transgender individuals.
4. Families belonging to Scheduled tribes and Other Traditional Forest dwellers as recognised under the Forest Rights Act 2006.
5. Families with members suffering from cancer or leprosy or living with HIV (PLHIV).

In case none of the parameters applies to the households that have applied, the concerned authority can decide of their accord and provide suitable justification for the same.

After the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana list is drafted by the concerned authority, it shall be publicized within Gram Panchayats within 7 days. If individuals find their elimination, deprivation score, or rank to be unjust, they can address their grievance within 15 days.
