MUMBAI: Chief Minister Eknath Shinde reviewed the implementation of central schemes in the state and directed the administration to ensure that schemes which are lagging in their target are expedited.
One such scheme that was far from its target was the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) for the urban poor. Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis, who was also present at the meeting, said that scheme was poorly implemented in the urban areas in the last two-and-a-half years despite central government's funds being available.
