PM Awas Yojana: Assessing Beneficiary Selection Mechanisms
The programme is divided into two segments: Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Gramin (PMAY-G), which caters to rural housing needs, and PM Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U), aimed at urban populations. With the recent announcement in the Union Budget 2024-25 to construct three crore houses under the PM Awas Graminand Urban Scheme, it is crucial to evaluate how beneficiaries are identified and whether the process ensures that assistance reaches the most deserving individuals.
