Under the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana (PMAY), the focus is on providing affordable housing to the rural population, with a particular emphasis on empowering women.
As per the scheme's guidelines, the house constructed under PMAY is usually in the name of the female member of the household. This initiative aims to empower women by giving them ownership of property and ensuring better living conditions in rural areas.
The PMAY aims to achieve housing for all by the year 2022, and the focus on female ownership is one of the key features of the scheme.
