The Jharkhand Cabinet last week approved 'Abua Awas Yojana' (AAY), a housing scheme for the poor that will provide eight lakh pucca houses to the homeless in the state and has a total budget of Rs 16,320 crore. The scheme will be implemented in three phases. Will be done, target of 2 lakh houses in the current financial year; 3.5 lakh houses in FY 2024-25 and 2.5 lakh houses in FY 2025-26. According to state government data, 16 lakh families have been beneficiaries of PMAY-Gramin since the formation of Jharkhand in 2000, and 50,000 families have benefited from the Ambedkar Awas Yojana. Yet, these schemes have been unable to cover all the eligible beneficiaries. Some problems related to this came to light when Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren (in November 22) and Rural Development Minister Alamgir Alam (in February 23) wrote to Union Rural Development Minister Giriraj Singh that about 8 lakh eligible beneficiaries were left out. ​
