What is Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana?

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana is a central government scheme that aims to provide affordable housing to all. The scheme runs in two parts:

• PM Awas Yojana Gramin (PMAYG) for rural areas

• PM Awas Yojana Urban for urban areas

Under PMAYG, beneficiaries in villages get a grant of ₹1.20 lakh to ₹1.30 lakh to build their house. In urban areas, the government provides a subsidy of up to ₹2.5 lakh to help people build or buy their homes.
