(b) The allocation of funds for a particular year depends upon the target allocated for that year. The target for 2019-20 is 60.00 Lakhs houses which is significantly higher than that of the target of 25 lakhs houses in 2018-19 under PMAY-G.The expenditure incurred on this component during the year 2018-19 is Rs.29,986.91 crore and during the year 2019-20 (upto 3rd March, 2020) is Rs.26,011.57 crore.
(c) The timeline for State / UT wise tentative indication of target of 70 lakh houses for the year 2020-21 is March, 2020. To achieve the target of States/ UTs under PMAY-G, the Government has taken several initiatives and innovative steps which include:
- Implementation and monitoring of the scheme through end to end e-Governance model using MIS-AwaasSoft.
- Evidence based monitoring of construction of house through uploading of geo-tagged photographs at each pre-determined stage of house construction.
- Single bank account (State Nodal Account) of PMAY-G at the State/UT level from where the assistance is transferred directly to beneficiary account through DBT.
- Increasing availability of trained rural mason by encouraging Rural Mason Training.
- In many States/ UTs, house sanctioned under PMAY-G are assigned to a field functionary for better monitoring, hand-holding leading to timely completion of houses.
- Giving awards to the best performing States/UTs, Districts.
- Performance Index Dashboard, has been developed to monitor different aspects of implementation of the programme, both geographically and parameter-wise, wherein States / UTs are ranked based on performance on daily basis, thereby creating healthy competition and motivation.
