Kerala to Implement PMAY-U 2.0 with Beneficiary Contribution and Centre MoU
Kerala's government is set to implement the second phase of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U 2.0), benefiting around 30,000 eligible beneficiaries. The state will sign an MoU with the Centre to secure Rs 450 crore in assistance. Under revised guidelines, beneficiaries must pay 25% of the project cost, a change from previous schemes where no beneficiary share was required. The state and Centre will contribute Rs 1 lakh and Rs 1.5 lakh respectively, with municipalities and beneficiaries covering the remainder. The government will also display the PMAY emblem on houses despite opposition resistance.
