PM Gramin Awas Yojana 2025: Even today, millions of families in rural India lack permanent homes or are forced to live in kutcha houses. The Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana (PMGAY) has been a boon for such families. Launched in 2016, this scheme not only provided shelter but also gave them a sense of dignity and security. Now, the government has released the updated beneficiary list for 2025, bringing joy to the faces of families who had been waiting for a home for a long time.
The new list includes families in need who were living in kutcha houses or who had no home at all. The central government has re-verified the data this time to ensure that no eligible families are left out and the benefits of the scheme reach the right people. This new list is an important step filled with hope for those living in rural India.
The launch of the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana (PMGAY) and its progress so far
This scheme was launched in 2016. Previously, it was known as the Indira Awas Yojana (Indira Housing Scheme). For years, this scheme has been transforming the lives of poor families. Today, millions of people live in permanent homes, making their lives safer and more stable.
The government aims to complete the construction of 29.5 million additional houses in rural areas by 2029. According to the Ministry of Rural Development, more than 30 million houses have been approved so far. This figure shows how rapidly the government is working to provide a dignified life to rural families.

The most significant step is the launch of the AwaasApp mobile app. Through this app, families can view live tracking of their home construction, register complaints, and easily digitally verify documents.
In addition, the government will release the second list within a month. If an eligible family’s name was not included in the first list, they may be eligible for a chance in the second list.
