What is PMAY (Urban) 2.0?

The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban was launched with the aim of providing a pucca house to every citizen by 2022. However, now the second phase, PMAY (Urban) 2.0, targets to provide houses to the poor and economically weaker sections (EWS) by 2025.

This is a demand-based scheme, meaning houses are approved based on actual demand. Central and state governments jointly provide subsidies and manage construction through two components:

• BLC (Beneficiary Led Construction): Beneficiary constructs the house and receives a subsidy.

• AHP (Affordable Housing in Partnership): Houses built in collaboration with the government and builders.

Jharkhand to Build 3 Lakh New Houses

According to the Urban Development and Housing Department of Jharkhand, 1 lakh houses will be approved in 2025-26, and over 3 lakh houses will be constructed in the next 5 years. These houses will benefit people who do not have their own pucca house and fall under the EWS category.

Currently, 12,787 housing units are being built across 19 municipal bodies in Jharkhand under the Affordable Housing Project (AHP).

Progress So Far Under PMAY in Jharkhand

The PMAY (Urban) scheme has been active in Jharkhand since 2015-16. Here's the progress:

• Total Beneficiaries: 2.11 lakh across 441 BLC and 28 AHP projects

• Completed Houses: 1.35 lakh

• Houses Under Construction: 0.75 lakh (to be completed by December 2025)
