Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal has launched ‘Angikaar 2025’, a last-mile outreach campaign under ‘Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana’ – Urban 2.0 (PMAY-U 2.0), here.
‘Angikaar 2025’ is an outreach campaign that will accelerate the implementation of PMAY-U 2.0 by creating widespread awareness about the scheme across the country, an official release said, adding that it is also designed to fast-track verification of applications under the scheme and expedite the completion of already sanctioned houses under PMAY-U.

“The campaign will ensure last-mile delivery and holistic development outcomes through active community mobilisation, targeted engagement and convergence with other Government of India schemes,” it said.
The launching event, which was held on Thursday in the national capital, was attended by Minister of State (MoS) for Housing and Urban Affairs Tokhan Sahu. Srinivas Katikithala, Secretary, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Kuldip Narayan, Joint Secretary and Mission Director (JS&MD), Housing for All (HFA); and other senior officials of the ministry, the official document said.
Additionally, benefits of the PM Surya Ghar and Muft Bijli Yojana will be provided to beneficiaries of PMAY-U, and housing needs of beneficiaries from the Special Focus Group identified under PMAY-U 2.0 will be prioritised, it added.
Under PMAY-U, 120 lakh houses have been sanctioned, out of which 94.11 lakh pucca houses have already been completed and delivered to beneficiaries. The Angikaar 2025 campaign will facilitate the completion of the remaining houses.
Aligning with the goal of ‘Housing for All’, the scheme was revamped and launched as PMAY-U 2.0 in September last year. Under PMAY-U 2.0, one crore additional families of urban India will receive financial support of up to Rs 2.50 lakh by the government to construct or purchase a pucca house in cities.
The ‘Angikaar 2025’ reaffirms the government’s commitment to bring welfare schemes closer to the people by bridging the implementation gap. It will reach out to the vulnerable sections of society to provide the benefits of the housing scheme.
“The scheme will run for a period of two months from 4th September 2025 to 31st October 2025 across 5,000+ Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in the country,” it added.
Widespread door-to-door awareness will be created across the country and through other outreach mediums and community mobilisation. It will feature a lineup of camps, loan ‘melas,’ and cultural events designed to engage prospective beneficiaries and other related stakeholders to participate in the Jan Bhagidari movement.
As part of the campaign, PMAY-U Awas Diwas will be celebrated on 17th September 2025 to mark the first year of the launch of PMAY-U 2.0. Additionally, an anchor event named “PM Awas Mela – Shehri” will be held at the District Headquarters.
In the case of larger cities, the PM Awas Mela-Shehri would be organised at the Municipal Corporation level. The anchor event will be conducted in two phases—the first phase from 17th September 2025 to 27th September 2025, and the second phase will be any day between 16th October 2025 and 31st October 2025, it added.
