New survey for PM Awas Yojna beneficiaries in Shimla soon

A fresh survey to identify eligible beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojna will be conducted across the rural areas of Shimla district, utilising the Awas Plus mobile application.

Shimla ADC Abhishek Verma announced that the government has launched the Awas Plus 2024 mobile application for the survey process.

Through this app, beneficiaries can either participate in the survey themselves or have it done by surveyors who have been nominated at the Gram Panchayat level. These surveyors are conducting the survey through face authentication Aadhaar e-KYC, and during this process, the entire family’s data is being recorded along with geo-tagging of the house. The survey will be carried out both online and offline. Verma emphasised that the survey results will help identify eligible beneficiaries for house allotment in the future. He urged all eligible individuals to take advantage of the scheme. The guidelines issued to all Gram Panchayats require the survey to be completed by March 15.
