The Government’s flagship rural housing programme, Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana Gramin (PMAY-G), has been making steady progress towards its mission of providing “Housing for All”. Launched in April 2016, the scheme has brought hope and dignity to millions of rural families by enabling them to build safe, permanent homes.

A Story of Transformation

For Smt. Kakrati Debbarma, a tribal woman from South Dhumacherra village in Tripura, the scheme brought life-changing relief. From living in a fragile mud hut vulnerable to rains and storms, she now resides in a sturdy pucca house built under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana Gramin (PMAY-G) with financial assistance directly transferred to her bank account. “The house brings not just safety, but also happiness and dignity,” she shared.
