 Our Honourable Prime Minister Srinarendra Modiji had launched the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban in the year 2015 to provide housing for all in urban areas by the year 2022. It always shocked and saddened me that in a nation like ours, several people do not have their own home. We have been working to solve this situation in the form of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Tamil Nadu is one of the most urbanised states in the country with an urban population of more than 48%. Our late Honourable Chief Minister Parachi Thalaivayamma had unveiled the vision 2023 document which envisages slum-free cities in Tamil Nadu by 2023. Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban, sanction has been accorded to construct 6,95,387 houses in Tamil Nadu. The scheme is being implemented efficiently under the able leadership of our Honourable Chief Minister and Honourable Deputy Chief Minister. Today, four projects completed under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban have been inaugurated at Veerapundi in Tirupur, 1280 houses at Tirukumaran Nagar in Tirupur, 1248 houses at Rajakur Phase 2 in Madurai, 1088 houses and at Irangalur in Trichy, 528 houses have been constructed. The houses in these projects are being allocated to persons residing along the river banks, other waterways and the homeless poor. These houses consist of a hall, a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet. These projects include an Anganwadi Centre, a library, a vampire shop, other shops and a sewage treatment plant. All these coordinated efforts by the Union and the state government are aimed at ensuring a self-sustainable housing environment.
