Bihar to Achieve ‘Housing for All’ Under PMAY-Urban by August 2025

According to Bihar government officials, house development under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna- Shahri is practically complete. According to the most recent data, 1,48,630 of the 2,64,604 dwellings have been built, with plans to accomplish the initial objective by August 2025. Read on for more information. Bihar's Urban Development and homes Department has established programs such as the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna-Urban (PMAY-U) and Bihar Mukhyamantri Gramin Awas Yojana to provide homes in urban areas. Currently, surveys are being conducted to identify beneficiaries who were ignored in prior lists. This action comes as the government ramped up construction activities over the last three months. The numerous housing projects seek to provide dwellings for the destitute and migrant workers who need permanent housing. For people who own land, the government has established plans to provide a sum of two lakh rupees for house construction. The Centre is estimated to pay roughly Rs 1.5 lakh, while the State government pays Rs 50,000. There have been 1,48,630 dwellings built to date. To finish the remaining 1,17,974 dwellings by August 2025, the government has hired roughly 500 junior engineers. Retired engineers are also used to solve the shortage of engineers in municipal governments. In summary, the Centre is moving on to Phase 2 of the PMAY-U project, which is expected to provide approximately one crore dwellings in urban areas across the country. Bihar has lagged greatly since the scheme's initial rollout in 2022. However, in the last three months, the government has built approximately 41,080 dwellings, making the August 2025 aim possible if work continues at the current rate.
