ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING & URBAN POVERTY ALLEVIATION
(SHRI BABUL SUPRIYO)
(a): In pursuance of the Government’s vision of facilitating housing to all by 2022, the Government has launched “Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Housing for All (Urban)” Mission on 25.6.2015. The Mission aims to provide assistance to States/UTs in addressing the housing requirement of the slum dwellers and urban poor through following four verticals:
(i) “In situ” Slum Redevelopment through private participation using land as resource;
(ii) Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS);
(iii) Affordable Housing in Partnership; and
(iv) Subsidy for beneficiary-led individual house construction or enhancement.
Land and colonisation being state subjects, no Scheme for providing land for landless has, therefore, been launched by the Government.
(b): State-wise details of eligible proposals for construction of houses accepted for Central assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Housing for All (Urban) Mission are annexed.
(c) & (d): No project proposals for seeking central assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Housing for All (Urban) Mission have been received from the State Government of Assam.
