A total of 2,742 beneficiaries will be chosen as part of the 10th detailed project report (DPR) of the Pradhan Mantri Awaz Yojana (PMAY) - LIFE housing project under the Thiruvananthapuram city Corporation.
The list of beneficiaries, which has been approved by the State-level committee, has been sent to the Central sanctioning and monitoring committee, which is set to meet this week for the final approval. Those who have been included in the list are families who possess land of their own but are homeless.
With the approval of the 10th list of beneficiaries, the total number of sanctioned houses in the Corporation area under the housing project will be above 13,000. However, around 2,500 beneficiaries who did not sign an agreement with the local body after being selected in the previous phases have been removed from the lists following an order from the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. Quite a few who had expressed willingness earlier to construct houses and submitted relevant documents backed out due to various issues, including the lack of enough funds and issues within the family.
