The financial assistance will be provided under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (urban) which has been put on a speedy pace at Rajasthan.
Over the next six months the state government will extend support to over six lakh homeless families to own a residence in urban areas. The urban development department has so far drafted a list of nearly 4.34 lakh such applicants to be provided direct beneficiary subsidy, while two lakh housings units to be constructed under public private partnership will be extended credit link subsidy on loan interest. The financial assistance will be provided under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (urban) which has been put on a speedy pace at Rajasthan.
“Even as targets of PMAY are to be achieved till year 2022, we wish to clear most applications and proposals over the next six months so that these people may get their home sooner,” says Manjit Singh, additional chief secretary Local Self Governance.

Under the scheme a survey of nearly 150 cities of the state has so far been completed and list of 4.34 lakh probable beneficiaries has accordingly been prepared by the department. A state level monitoring committee meeting of the ‘housing for all’ chaired by chief secretary on Friday approved 44 thousand such applications.
”The remaining applications are also expected to be cleared over next six months and nearly two lakh units will be generated under PPP mode by other departments,” said an officer.
These applicants shall be entitled for a financial assistance of upto Rs 1.5 lakh under the scheme for housing. In addition to these the affordable housing units constructed by Housing Board, JDA and other local bodies under public private partnership model will also be provided credit link subsidy. The state government thus tends to bring these families under the beneficiary cover before it goes to assembly elections in end of the year.
Role Of Local Bodies
State level monitoring committee approved construction of nearly 18,000 units under PPP mode. RHB, JDA and other local bodies shall provide land for the purpose while construction will be held by private developers. Among these 10 such projects of RHB will generate over 6000 units.
