PMAY(U) Awards 2021 150 Days Challenge

Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India has been implementing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U) Mission since June 2015. About 1.20 crore houses have alreadybeen sanctioned by MoHUA. So far, more than 1.04 lakh houses have been grounded and about 63 lakh are completed. Keeping in view the fact that there is diversity in approach towards planning, implementation and outcomes of projects amongst various States/UTs, it is pertinent to identify and recognize the “Achievers” and encourage others to compete and attain the goal of 'Housing for All' in a sustained manner. Therefore, MoHUA constituted PMAY-U Awards in 2019.These awards were given by Hon’ble Prime Minister on 01.01.2021.
