Abstract

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana is a government scheme dedicated to providing affordable housing. It aims to improve both the urban and rural housing crisis that is present in India via two variations of the same scheme Gramin and Urban. PMAY was established in 2015 and aimed at providing pucca houses by the end of 2022. The shortage of rural housing was mostly caused by households living in temporary and congested homes. This research understands a few holistic approaches to eradicating shelter deprivation in rural India and how various components such as the kitchen, toilets, sanitation, food, and employment all play a role in the housing crisis. The paper also takes a look at the beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries as an effect of the PMAY.
