Gujarat has achieved a remarkable milestone in its housing sector with the completion of over 9.9 lakh houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), marking a significant step toward the government's vision of "Housing for All." This achievement underscores Gujarat's dedication to providing safe, affordable, and dignified housing to its urban and rural populations.

The PMAY initiative aims to transform lives by constructing quality pucca houses with essential amenities like electricity, clean water, LPG connections, and sanitation facilities. Gujarat's efforts have also focused on creating vibrant, inclusive communities with key infrastructure such as Anganwadi centres, health and wellness facilities, and safe neighborhoods featuring CCTV security.

Key highlights of Gujarat's PMAY progress include:

Completion of more than 9.9 lakh houses, showcasing robust implementation across the state.
Strong emphasis on beneficiary-led construction and partnership models to ensure affordability and quality.
Special focus on vulnerable groups including widows, persons with disabilities, senior citizens, and marginalized communities.
Integration with other welfare schemes ensures homes are equipped with water, sanitation, solar power, and gas connections.
Continuous monitoring using geo-tagging and social audits, enhancing transparency and accountability.
Urban centers like Ahmedabad have delivered tens of thousands of homes with ongoing projects to expand affordable housing further.
Government support includes central assistance up to ₹2.50 lakh per housing unit, making home ownership accessible.

The government’s sustained push through PMAY reflects its commitment to uplifting citizens by providing not just housing but a foundation for improved living standards and community development. This milestone is a testament to the collaboration between state and central governments, local bodies, and citizens in realizing India's dream of a home for every family.
