Raipur, 2 August 2023
Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel has written a letter to the Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi requesting him to allot the target for the remaining houses of the waiting list under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in the state. Along with this, the Chief Minister has requested the Prime Minister to allot a target for 8 lakh 19 thousand 999 beneficiary families of Awas Plus in the state.
Chief Minister Mr. Bhupesh Baghel has written in the letter that at present, a total of 18,75,585 beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana are registered in the rural permanent waiting list of the Socio-Economic Caste Census-2011 (SECC-2011) of the Government of India. A total of 11,76,146 beneficiaries have been approved for housing from the above list till the year 2016-2023. After approval, about 73.5 percent (8,63,567) houses have been successfully completed in the scheme. Thus the permanent waiting list is 6,99,439 remaining to achieve the target. Also, the target of 7,81,999 houses allotted for the year 2021-22 was withdrawn by the Government of India. In order to reallocate this target to the state, through the letter number 5026 dated 18.08.2022, the Government of India has been requested to give these houses in installments. But the information about the action taken by the Government of India is expected till date. In the year 2022-23 only, a target of 79,000 houses has been given.
Chief Minister Mr. Baghel has written in a letter to the Prime Minister that I would like to draw your attention that despite the adverse conditions of Covid-19, the state of Chhattisgarh has been leading at the national level in the direction of housing completion. The average annual expenditure for Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana since inception has reflected better performance of the state than its estimated annual budget. Please also be aware of the fact that for the completion of 2,36,813 houses approved by the state government in the year 2020-21 and 2022-23, a provision of Rs.3238.00 crore has been made in the budget of the year 2023-24, in which amount An allocation of Rs.674.75 crore has been released. The first installment amount of Rs 285.33 crore, second installment amount of Rs 270.66 crore, third installment amount of Rs 78.77 crore and fourth installment amount of Rs 19.20 crore have also been transferred to the beneficiaries.
Mr. Baghel has written in the letter that due to non-receipt of permanent waiting list of 6,99,439 houses from the Government of India, approval could not be issued by the state government, as a result, approval could not be given to 8,19,999 beneficiaries of Awas Plus. could. Therefore, I request that in addition to the remaining houses mentioned above, the target of housing plus should also be provided to the state. Along with this, I want to inform that Chhattisgarh has done a commendable performance in Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban with its limited resources, against 2,62,677 sanctioned houses, 51% houses are complete and the rest are in progress. The state government has made available Rs 2,389.07 crore, ie 88% amount, against the state share amount of Rs 2,706,69 crore to be spent on these houses. In this way, the performance of the state in Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban is commendable.
