Which of the following is the primary objective of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban (PMAY-U), launched in 2015?
To provide pucca houses to eligible urban households
Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban (PMAY-U) was launched by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs on 25 June 2015 under the mission "Housing for All".
Its primary objective is to provide a pucca house (permanent house with basic amenities such as water, electricity, sanitation, LPG and kitchen) to every eligible urban household, including slum dwellers and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS), Low Income Groups (LIG) and Middle Income Groups (MIG).
The mission works through four verticals — In-situ Slum Redevelopment, Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme, Affordable Housing in Partnership and Beneficiary-Led Construction.
PMAY-U does not distribute vacant plots, only shelters or rental units alone — pucca dwelling units with a minimum carpet area of 30 sq m are its central goal.
Hence, the answer is to provide pucca houses to eligible urban households.
