PM Awas Yojana – Gramin (PMAY-G)
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin was originally launched as “Indira Awas Yojana” in 1985. PMAY-G was relaunched by our current government in 2016. The main aim of PMAY-G is to provide affordable houses with basic facilities to rural people. In 2016, the government announced “Housing for All by 2022” but recently it has been extended up to 2024. The main aim of this yojana is to provide pukka houses with basic facilities to the rural poor.
