Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has achieved a significant milestone in implementing the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G), with an 85% completion rate. 

Secretary, of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj department, Aijaz Asad expressed confidence that the remaining targets would be achieved by March 31st, despite challenging weather conditions in the hilly regions. He outlined a robust strategy to maintain this momentum, including weekly assessments and comprehensive monitoring systems. 

He said that the focus remains on ensuring that every eligible family receives their home by the end of March, supported by meticulous financial planning and efficient fund utilisation.



Asad commended the outstanding performance of many districts, where completion rates have exceeded 90%. He urged other districts to emulate their success by addressing bottlenecks and improving performance metrics. He also gave a roadmap for the timely completion of all houses by March 31, with district officers tasked to oversee progress closely. 

Worth mentioning, that since the inception of PMAY-G in 2016, over 3.35 lakh houses have been sanctioned in Jammu and Kashmir, with 2.85 lakh already completed. A record-breaking number of 67,780 houses have been completed in 2024-25, so far, and an additional figure of 82,000 houses will be completed by March end.
