How did Odisha reach 5 lakh houses?
The announcement came at a state-level PMAY-G programme in Balangir on 14 November 2026, attended by Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi. The Chief Minister said the Centre had earlier sanctioned 4 lakh houses for Odisha and has now approved 1 lakh more for 2026-27 — taking the total to 5 lakh.
Under PMAY-G, a total of 28.06 lakh houses have been sanctioned for Odisha so far, of which 25.58 lakh are already complete. The Chief Minister added that more than 41 lakh pucca houses have been completed in Odisha under various rural housing schemes since 2014-15, including 5.66 lakh in the last two years alone.
The scheme’s implementation period has been extended by two more years, until 2029. According to the Chief Minister, the extension will facilitate 2,91,666 additional houses.
How much assistance does one house get?
Under PMAY-G, a house in the plains gets Rs 1,20,000. Odisha falls in the plains category, so this is the amount that applies. In addition, Rs 12,000 is given for a toilet under the Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin), and 90–95 days of unskilled wages are paid for construction work. The minimum house size is 25 sq m.
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| House construction assistance (plains) | Rs 1,20,000 |
| Toilet (SBM-G) | Rs 12,000 |
| Wages (90–95 days) | Under MGNREGA / VB-G RAM G |
| Bonus — house completed in 5 months | Rs 35,000 |
| Bonus — house completed in 7 months | Rs 20,000 |
Around 11.35 lakh beneficiaries have already received the early-completion bonus. The assistance is released in instalments directly into the beneficiary’s bank account, with geo-tagged photographs verified at every stage.
Who gets the direct benefit of this scheme?
The scheme covers rural families that have no house or live in a kutcha or dilapidated house. Beneficiaries are identified from the SECC 2011 and Awaas+ survey lists, and the final names are approved after verification by the Gram Sabha.
Note that a family is excluded if any member earns more than Rs 15,000 a month. The Union Minister said a fresh and proper survey has now been completed, and no poor family will be left living in a kutcha house — all eligible families will receive pucca houses in a phased manner.
How to check your name on the list
There is no open online application form for PMAY-G. If your name is on the survey list, it moves forward from there. To check your name:
- Open the official portal pmayg.dord.gov.in.
- Go to Stakeholders and choose IAY/PMAYG Beneficiary, then search by registration number.
- Without a registration number, check the village-level progress report or the panchayat-wise wait list.
- If the survey is still open in your area, do a self-survey on the AwaasPlus 2024 app or contact your village surveyor or Gram Panchayat.
Do not pay any middleman — the list and status can be checked free of cost on the official portal.
What is the solar panel subsidy?
The Union Minister announced that the Centre and the state government will jointly subsidise solar panels on PMAY-G houses. The benefit will be linked with the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, so beneficiaries can bring their electricity bills down to zero and earn extra income by selling surplus power. Deputy Chief Minister Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo said efforts will be made to link PMAY-G with PM Surya Ghar Yojana so that solar panels are installed on every rooftop.
What else did Balangir get?
Alongside the housing programme, the Chief Minister inaugurated and laid foundation stones for 248 development projects worth about Rs 911 crore in Balangir district — 160 projects (about Rs 176 crore) were inaugurated and foundation stones were laid for 88 projects (about Rs 735 crore). They cover health infrastructure, drinking water, irrigation, Anganwadi centres, additional classrooms, road improvement and hostels.
The foundation stone was also laid for an agricultural university in Balangir, and the Prime Minister’s poverty-elimination pilot project will start in Odisha from Balangir district. The Union Minister said 1,700 km of roads have been approved under the fourth phase of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, which will connect all remaining villages with pucca roads.
Big announcements for women and panchayats
29 lakh women in Odisha have become Lakhpati Didis — the target of 27 lakh was achieved a year ahead of schedule. Under the Subhadra Yojana, women receive Rs 10,000 a year. The Union Minister said loans worth Rs 10 lakh crore will be extended to women across India over the next five years through banks, and women will now be able to get loans without a guarantee even without being members of self-help groups.
Under the Viksit Bharat–G RAM G scheme, Odisha will receive about Rs 4,000 crore this year. Every panchayat will get Rs 25–50 lakh a year, and over five years smaller panchayats will receive up to Rs 1 crore and larger panchayats up to Rs 2 crore for development works.
