Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Surat

Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY - Urban), also known as Housing for All, is an initiative launched by the Government of India to provide affordable housing to the urban poor.

The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) is being rolled out in over 300 cities across India, and Surat is one of the key cities participating in the scheme. The response to PMAY has been huge, with thousands of applications already submitted nationwide.

In Surat, the people have shown great interest in the scheme. The Gujarat state government has already started building 8,000 housing units, and now plans to construct an additional 5,000 homes. This move aims to meet the rising demand, as over 55,000 applications have been received for the initial 8,000 units.

Surat Municipal Corporation and Surat Urban Development Authority have already completed over 2,000 houses as of April 2017. With the increasing number of applicants, the new 5,000 homes could give another opportunity for those who missed applying earlier.
