MoHUA missions played key role in fight against COVID
Various missions under the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs played a stellar role during the COVID-19 pandemic and implemented several measures to ensure the country’s fight against the pandemic and ensure ease-of-living for citizens, said a press release issued by the ministry on January 11.
Soon after the first phase of the lockdown, a revised version of the Swachhata-MoHUA app was launched to enable citizens to get their COVID-related complaints redressed by their respective ULBs. The app was re-launched with nine additional categories of complaints specific to COVID-19. Over 1.5 lakh COVID-related complaints have been resolved on the app with a resolution rate of 87 per cent.
More than 50 smart cities transformed their Integrated Control & Command Centres (ICCCs) into COVID-19 war rooms to enable collaboration with various Government departments.
In line with Prime Minister’s call of ‘AtmaNirbhar Bharat‘, Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHCs) as a sub scheme under PMAY-U, was approved to provide ease-of-living to urban migrants/poor in Industrial Sector as well as in non-formal urban economy to get access to dignified affordable rental housing close to their workplace. So far, 29 states/UTs have signed MoA (Memorandum of Agreement) for implementation of ARHCs.
Around 20,000 houses under the AHP vertical of PMAY-U were used as COVID facilities. The Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) for Middle Income Group (MIG) under PMAY-U was extended to March 31, 2021 as a measure under ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative. Extension of CLSS for MIG will benefit 2.5 lakh Middle income families mobilising an investment of Rs 70,000 crore in financial year 2020-21.
