Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh -
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban 2.0 (PMAY-U 2.0) is gaining strong momentum in Haryana. The state is moving steadily towards fulfilling the vision of “Housing for All,” ensuring dignified living conditions for urban families.
The second meeting of the State Level Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (SLSMC) was held today under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi. A major highlight of the meeting was the approval of 2,198 beneficiaries under the Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC) vertical. This step will provide vital support to families across 50 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), enabling them to build safe and sustainable homes.
DG, Housing for All, Haryana and Secretary, Housing Department, J Ganesan informed that under the BLC vertical, each eligible beneficiary will receive 2.50 lakh in financial assistance, comprising 1.50 lakh from the Central share and 1.00 lakh from the State share. The assistance will allow beneficiaries to construct all-weather pucca houses with carpet areas ranging between 30 to 45 square meters, thereby enhancing their quality of life.
Another key achievement reviewed in the meeting was the successful integration of the Mukhya Mantri Shehri Awas Yojana (MMSAY) with PMAY-U 2.0. As many as 15,256 beneficiaries, allotted one marla plots under MMSAY, have been approved by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India, to receive ₹2.50 lakh each for constructing their homes. This initiative ensures that the benefits of both central and state schemes are seamlessly aligned for maximum impact.
Chief Secretary emphasized that these approvals mark a significant step towards realizing the government’s vision of universal housing. With the combined efforts of the Central and State governments, thousands of urban families in Haryana are set to benefit from improved housing facilities and better living standards.
