Owning a home is more than just having a roof—it’s about dignity, security, and legacy. For lakhs of families across Odisha, this dream is now becoming a reality through the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).
Launched in 2015, this scheme by the Government of India aims to provide “Housing for All by 2025.” And now, in 2025, the latest PMAY beneficiary list has been released, giving fresh hope to thousands of deserving families in Odisha—from tribal villages in Koraput to coastal towns like Puri and Bhubaneswar.
Whether you’re in a rural hamlet in Kandhamal or a small town in Sambalpur, if you meet the eligibility, this scheme can help you build or buy a permanent (pucca) home with financial support.
🏠 What is PM Awas Yojana (PMAY)?
PMAY is a flagship central government scheme that supports housing for:
- Economically Weaker Sections (EWS)
- Low-Income Groups (LIG)
- Middle-Income Groups (MIG)
- Families in both urban and rural areas
It has two main components:
➤ PMAY-Urban (PMAY-U)
For slum dwellers and urban poor living in cities like Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Rourkela, Sambalpur, etc.

For rural households across Odisha’s villages and tribal belts, where housing support is most needed.
