AI SummaryOdisha PM Awas Yojana Gramin (PMAY-G) gives money help to rural families in Odisha who live in kutcha houses or have no pucca home of their own. Families registered for the scheme through the AwaasPlus 2024 self survey, which was rolled out in the state on January 24, 2025 from Arjunsinghpur village in Puri district.
Eligible households get central support of ₹1.20 lakh in plain areas and ₹1.30 lakh in hilly areas to build a pucca house. Registration is free, and people can sign up either through the AwaasPlus 2024 mobile app or by visiting their nearest panchayat office.
Odisha PM Awas Yojana Gramin (PMAY-G)
PMAY-G is the rural arm of the national housing programme run by the Ministry of Rural Development with state support. In Odisha, Rural Housing Department looks after the rollout along with panchayat and block officials. AwaasPlus 2024 survey is the route for new families to get their names added to the permanent waiting list for a house.
Self Survey Process on AwaasPlus 2024 App
AwaasPlus 2024 app lets a family complete its own survey from an Android phone. Face match with Aadhaar is required to start, and only one self survey is allowed from one mobile device. The steps are easy and take only a few minutes.
STEP 1 - Go to the official PMAY-G website at pmayg.dord.gov.in and click the AwaasPlus 2024 Mobile App link shown on the homepage. The older pmayg.nic.in address has now moved to this new portal.
STEP 2 - Download AwaasPlus 2024 app from the portal. It works only on Android phones.
STEP 3 - Open the app and log in with your Aadhaar number. Complete face authentication to start the survey.
STEP 4 - Fill Aadhaar number, mobile number and other details for all family members. Pick one beneficiary from the family, preferably a female member.
STEP 5 - Complete face-based e-KYC of the selected beneficiary. If e-KYC fails because of Aadhaar or internet problems, the app records the reason and you can finish it later.
STEP 6 - Bank account details are optional in the form. Payment is made through Aadhaar Payment Bridge, so a bank account linked to Aadhaar helps.
STEP 7 - Answer a few multiple choice questions about your present house and upload clear geo-tagged photos of the present house and the proposed house site.
STEP 8 - Choose a preferred house design from the given options. This is only a preference and not final. You can also show interest in mason training.
STEP 9 - Check all details, tick the declaration box and submit. No changes are allowed after submission. A survey without completed e-KYC is marked incomplete and needs to be reopened later.
After submission, the survey goes for checking to the surveyor, block officer and district officer. You get an SMS when the status changes. Verified names then go to the Gram Sabha for approval.
Offline Application Process
Families who cannot use the app can complete the survey with help from panchayat staff. Around 13,942 gram panchayat and block officials were trained to assist applicants during the survey.
STEP 1 - Collect Aadhaar card, bank passbook, mobile number and other required papers.
STEP 2 - Visit the nearest gram panchayat office or block office.
STEP 3 - Submit the documents to the official in charge for the assisted survey.
STEP 4 - The official uploads the details on the PMAY-G portal after checking.
STEP 5 - Once approved, money is sent straight to the bank account of the beneficiary.

Who Can Apply for Odisha PM Awas Yojana Gramin
Eligibility rules were relaxed before the survey, so some families that were earlier left out can now take part. A family living separately from the mother family, like a son living apart from parents or a woman separated from her husband, can also apply. People who applied earlier and are still waiting for a house can apply again.
- Rural households with no pucca house, or those living in a kutcha house with mud walls or a thatched roof.
- Families with a monthly income up to ₹15,000, as the earlier limit was raised.
- Households owning common items like a two-wheeler, refrigerator or landline phone.
- People whose homes were damaged in fire, elephant attacks or natural disasters.
- Households listed in SECC 2011 or the Awaas+ permanent waiting list, and those whose earlier applications are still pending.
Required Documents
Keep these papers ready before starting the survey, either on the app or at the panchayat office. Missing documents can delay the checking process.
- Aadhaar card of all family members, with the beneficiary's Aadhaar linked to a mobile number for e-KYC.
- Bank passbook or account details linked with Aadhaar for DBT payment.
- MGNREGA job card, if the family has one.
- Passport size photo and proof of the house site or land document.
- Application or SMS number from any earlier PMAY-G or Awaas+ registration.
Financial Help and Benefits
Under PMAY-G, central and state governments share the cost of the house. Central help is ₹1.20 lakh in plain areas and ₹1.30 lakh in hilly or difficult areas. MGNREGA wages for unskilled work add to this amount, and the state provides extra support for the house. A completed house comes with a bedroom, kitchen and toilet.
Money is sent in installments straight to the bank account of the beneficiary. Construction progress is checked before each installment is released, so families should keep the work on schedule.
