In a major push towards the vision of Housing for All, the double-engine government has secured financial approval of ₹12,031 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) – Urban Mission 2.0, officials said here on Saturday.
This funding will help provide pucca houses to the urban poor across Uttar Pradesh, with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directing strict measures to ensure transparency and quality in construction.
To maintain accountability, geo-tagging and photographic documentation of each house will be mandatory under PMAY (Urban), enabling real-time monitoring of construction at every stage.
Additionally, all houses will be built with disaster-resilient features to safeguard against earthquakes, floods, and other calamities—making safety a core component of the scheme.
Under the mission, the Central and State governments are sharing costs in a 60:40 ratio to reduce the financial burden on Uttar Pradesh. Each eligible beneficiary will receive ₹2.5 lakh in assistance to help build a permanent (pucca) house.
Launched on September 1, 2024, the PMAY (Urban) Mission 2.0 aims to ensure pucca housing for all families within a set timeframe. The scheme is being closely monitored by state and district-level officials to guarantee timely and high-quality construction.
This initiative not only strengthens the social security of the urban poor but also promotes integrated urban development across the state.
