Hindustan Times  

{Limited success} Chandigarh Only 675 people from Chandigarh received the PMAY Scheme benefits in three years. Even though the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Housing for All scheme was launched in 2017, only 675 people received the financial benefit under the scheme in the city and an amount of around ₹15 crore has been disbursed in the last three years. The four components of the PMAY scheme include a credit-linked subsidy, in-situ development of slums, beneficiary-led construction, wherein those from the economically weaker sections are paid ₹95 lakh for construction, and an opportunity to build individual houses under an affordable housing scheme. Affordable housing, a concern Last year in November, United Nations Development Programme in its vision document ‘Chandigarh 2030 and Beyond’ had mentioned that affordable housing had always remained a concern in the city.
