Ranchi is launching a new survey to identify residents in rural areas who need housing assistance through the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) scheme. This marks the first comprehensive “Awas Plus 2” survey in ten years, with the aim of finding new individuals and families who qualify for the affordable housing program.
Identifying New Beneficiaries
The survey is a door-to-door effort by government employees to find new beneficiaries for the 2024-25 period. This follows an initial identification process in 2014-15. The local Panchayat level helps to find people for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. The district aims to provide 14,595 new homes through this initiative.
The primary goal of the survey is to ensure that those most in need of housing support are identified and given the chance to participate in the PMAY scheme. This involves carefully assessing the housing situations of residents and determining their eligibility based on the program’s criteria.
Past Efforts and Future Goals
Between 2016 and 2022, Ranchi district aimed to construct 55,340 houses under the PMAY scheme. The current survey builds on these past efforts to further address housing needs within the community. This renewed focus aims to extend the benefits of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana to more people, ultimately improving living conditions and promoting stability for families.
