The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is a government housing scheme in India that aims to provide affordable housing to low-income and economically weaker sections of society.

The funds will be used for the construction of houses, infrastructure development, and other related activities. The scheme is being implemented by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in partnership with state governments and other stakeholders.
The PMAY scheme was launched in 2015 by the Indian government with the goal of providing "Housing for All" by 2022. The scheme targets the economically weaker sections of society, including Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and other marginalized communities. The scheme is being implemented in both urban and rural areas, with a focus on providing affordable housing to low-income families and slum dwellers.
The scheme provides financial assistance to eligible families for the construction of houses. The assistance is provided in the form of subsidies on home loans and grants for the construction of houses.
