Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) is a major rural housing scheme focused on providing pucca houses with basic amenities to eligible rural households across India. This scheme, started by the Ministry of Rural Development, targets low-income families to make sure there is “Housing For All” in rural areas. As of August 2025, PMAY-G has made great progress in rural housing construction, helping millions of beneficiaries nationwide.
Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana-Gramin: Helping Rural Housing
Since it began on 1st April 2016, PMAY-G has been focused on helping rural families build durable pucca houses. The scheme’s main goal is to improve rural living standards by providing safe and secure housing with essential facilities. This scheme supports the government’s vision of inclusive development by targeting poor sections in villages.
Key Targets and Achievements of PMAY-G till 2025
At first, PMAY-G aimed to build 2.95 crore houses between FY 2016-17 and 2023-24. The government has now extended the scheme to FY 2028-29 with a new target of 2 crore houses. As of 4th August 2025, the Ministry has set a total target of 4.12 crore houses for various States and Union Territories (UTs). Out of these, 3.84 crore houses have been approved, and 2.81 crore houses have been completed, marking a big step in rural housing development.
Extension and New Plans under PMAY-G (2024-29)
The Union Cabinet approved extending PMAY-G for five more years, from FY 2024-25 to 2028-29, with a fresh target to build 2 crore more rural houses. To find new eligible beneficiaries, a new survey is underway using the Awaas+ 2024 mobile app, which uses eKYC face-based authentication and updated exclusion criteria. This updated method makes sure beneficiary identification is accurate and the scheme is carried out efficiently.
State-wise Implementation Status and Challenges
Most States and UTs have reached the limit of eligible households based on the SECC-2011 and Awaas+ 2018 lists. However, Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, and Karnataka still have pending targets to complete. Notably, UTs like Delhi, Chandigarh, and Puducherry have not implemented PMAY-G since it started. Telangana also has not participated in the scheme since the beginning.
