Abstract
The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) Urban is a flagship program of the Government of India aimed at providing affordable housing to urban poor. This paper evaluates the implementation of the PMAY Urban program by analyzing its impact on the target population and assessing the effectiveness of its various components.
The study employs a mixed-methods approach that combines both qualitative and quantitative data. The research data were collected through surveys, interviews, and secondary sources. The study found that the PMAY Urban program has had a significant impact on the target population, with a large number of beneficiaries being provided with affordable housing. However, the study also revealed that there are still significant challenges in the implementation of the program, including issues related to identification of beneficiaries, quality of construction, and delays in disbursal of funds.
The paper concludes with recommendations for improving the implementation of the PMAY Urban program. These include measures such as strengthening the beneficiary identification process, improving the quality of construction, increasing the transparency and accountability of the program, and ensuring timely disbursal of funds. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of the PMAY Urban program and highlights the need for continued efforts to address the housing needs of the urban poor in India.
