AI SummaryPradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin gives pucca houses to rural families who live in kutcha homes or have no house of their own. In Odisha, the Rural Housing Department is holding a fresh household survey to add left out families to the permanent waiting list for housing support.
This survey is known as Awaas Plus. It covers families that were left out of the older SECC 2011 list. Sons living apart from their parents and wives living separately from their husbands can also join the survey this time. People who applied earlier and are still waiting for allotment can fill the form again.
Odisha PM Awas Yojana Gramin Online Survey Process
Families in Odisha can take part in the survey in two ways. One is a self survey done by the family on a mobile app. The other is an assisted survey where a panchayat official fills the details on the family's behalf. Both methods are free and there is no form fee. The survey runs as per the state notice, and the full rules are given in the Awaas Plus survey SOP. As per the state government update of 22 September 2026, the survey covered 37,89,234 households in Odisha and 28,42,020 were initially found eligible by the District Level Appellate Committee. The Permanent Waiting List is being finalised, and no houses were sanctioned under PMAY-G in the state during FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27.
It is better to keep Aadhaar details of every family member, a bank passbook copy and phone photos of the present house ready before starting. Steps for both methods are given below.
Self Survey Steps through Awaas Plus 2024 App
STEP 1 - Download Awaas Plus 2024 app. Visit the official PMAY-G portal or the Odisha Rural Housing Department website to get the app file. The apk file is also hosted on the official NIC download page. Install the Aadhaar FaceRD app as well, because face verification is part of the survey.
STEP 2 - Open the app and register with an Aadhaar number. Complete e-KYC through a face scan and an OTP that comes on the Aadhaar linked mobile number.
STEP 3 - Fill the household details. Enter the name of the head of the family, the names of all members, occupation, social category and the present condition of the house.
STEP 4 - Upload the required papers. Land ownership documents, photos of the existing house and bank account details are uploaded inside the app.
STEP 5 - Check every entry and submit the form. A reference number is generated after submission. Keep it safe for later tracking.
Assisted Survey Steps at Panchayat Office
STEP 1 - Go to the gram panchayat office and meet the Panchayat Development Officer or the survey official. Officials are also visiting villages under a home visit campaign.
STEP 2 - Give Aadhaar details of all family members. The official enters the same household information in the survey app.
STEP 3 - Documents are checked on the spot and uploaded by the official. Existing house photos are taken during the visit.
STEP 4 - Field verification happens at the panchayat and block level. After this checking, the name moves to the waiting list. Any doubt about the process can be cleared on the Odisha rural housing toll free number 0674-6817777.

Housing Support under PMAY-G
Selected families get Rs 1.20 lakh for a house in plain areas and Rs 1.30 lakh in hilly, difficult and IAP districts. Money is released in installments as construction moves ahead, and each installment goes straight to the bank account through DBT payment. As on 20 October 2026, 3,19,57,536 houses have been completed under PMAY-G across the country, as per the official portal.
Odisha also has its own housing scheme for poor families. Antyodaya Gruha Yojana works next to PMAY-G and covers families that need state support. Names of selected families can be checked in the PMAY-G beneficiary list and in the AwaasSoft list. State wise details are also available in the PMAY Odisha list.
