The Ministry of Rural Development has been implementing PMAY-G since April 1, 2016, with the goal of providing pucca houses with basic amenities to eligible rural households. Initially, the scheme aimed to support the construction of 2.95 crore houses during the financial years 2016–17 to 2023–24.
Following the successful rollout, the Union Government approved the continuation of PMAY-G for the period 2024–25 to 2028–29, targeting an additional 2 crore rural houses.
As of July 24, 2025, the Ministry has allocated a cumulative target of 4.12 crore houses to States and Union Territories under the scheme. Of these, 3.84 crore houses have been sanctioned and 2.81 crore houses have been completed nationwide.
In West Bengal, a target of 45,69,423 houses was allocated, of which 34,19,419 have been completed as of the same date.
The government aims to achieve the vision of “Housing for All” in rural areas by assisting a total of 4.95 crore eligible rural households with pucca homes equipped with basic amenities by March 2029.
However, PMAY-G is not implemented in the Union Territories of Delhi, Chandigarh, and Puducherry. Additionally, the State of Telangana did not participate in the scheme during the previous implementation phase (2016–17 to 2023–24). (With inputs from PIB)
