Angikaar 2025
The Government of India launched Angikaar 2025 on 4th September 2025 in New Delhi. This campaign aims to accelerate the implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Urban 2.0 (PMAY-U 2.0). It focuses on increasing awareness, fast-tracking application verification and expediting house completions under the scheme. The campaign will run across more than 5,000 Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) for two months.
Background and Objectives
Angikaar 2025 is a last-mile outreach campaign under PMAY-U 2.0. It seeks to bridge the gap between scheme benefits and beneficiaries. The campaign targets vulnerable urban populations to ensure they receive housing support. It also promotes the Credit Risk Guarantee Fund Trust for Low Income Housing (CRGFTLIH) scheme. Another goal is to integrate PM Surya Ghar – Muft Bijli Yojana benefits with PMAY-U housing assistance.
Scope and Coverage
The campaign covers over 5,000 ULBs across India. It will run from 4th September to 31st October 2025. Activities include door-to-door awareness drives, community mobilisation, loan melas, cultural events and camps. These are designed to engage beneficiaries and stakeholders in the Jan Bhagidari movement. The outreach aims to fast-track the completion of remaining sanctioned houses.
PMAY-U 2.0 Scheme Details
PMAY-U 2.0 was launched in September 2024 to extend housing support to urban India. It aims to benefit one crore additional families. Financial assistance up to ₹2.50 lakh is provided for constructing or purchasing pucca houses. So far, 120 lakh houses have been sanctioned under PMAY-U. Of these, 94.11 lakh houses have been completed and delivered to beneficiaries.
Key Events and Campaign Activities
PMAY-U Awas Diwas will be celebrated on 17th September 2025 to mark one year of PMAY-U 2.0. The flagship event PM Awas Mela – Shehri will be held at district headquarters or municipal corporation levels. It will run in two phases – 17-27 September and a flexible phase between 16-31 October 2025. These events will showcase scheme benefits and support community outreach.
