In West Bengal, the dream of owning a secure and permanent home is deeply rooted in every family’s heart — whether in the lanes of Kolkata or the villages of Murshidabad, Bankura, or Cooch Behar.
To make this dream come true, the Government of India launched the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) in 2015, with a promise of “Housing for All by 2025.”
Now in 2025, the latest PMAY Beneficiary List has been published. This list includes the names of thousands of families from across Bengal who may now receive government assistance to build or buy their own pucca home.
Whether you’re a tea worker in Jalpaiguri, a homemaker in Asansol, or a daily wage earner in North 24 Parganas, this scheme could help you achieve your dream home—with financial help, loan subsidies, and direct cash transfers.
🏠 What is PM Awas Yojana (PMAY)?
PMAY is a major central government scheme that provides affordable housing assistance to:
- Economically Weaker Sections (EWS)
- Low-Income Groups (LIG)
- Middle-Income Groups (MIG)
