Government Launches Angikaar 2025 to Fast-Track Affordable Housing Under PMAY-U 2.0

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs launched a campaign called Angikaar 2025 on September 4, 2025, led by Minister Manohar Lal Khattar in New Delhi. It’s part of the broader Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban 2.0 (PMAY-U 2.0) and is aimed at ensuring homes reach the people who need them faster.

What’s Angikaar 2025 About?

• It’s a two-month nationwide outreach from September 4 to October 31, 2025, and spans more than 5,000 urban local bodies.
• The campaign leans on boots-on-the-ground efforts—think door-to-door visits, local events, community mobilization, loan fairs, and cultural programs—to raise awareness, help verify applications, and speed up the handover of already approved homes.

It also shines a light on some useful allied schemes:

• The Credit Risk Guarantee Fund Trust for Low Income Housing (CRGFTLIH) helps banks, housing finance providers, and co-ops extend loans to economically weaker and low-income groups by offering guarantees.
• Plus, it highlights the PM Surya Ghar – Muft Bijli Yojana, meaning beneficiaries of PMAY-U could also get free electricity.

Special Events During the Campaign

• PMAY-U Awas Diwas: Celebrated on September 17, 2025, this marks one year since PMAY-U 2.0 launched.
• PM Awas Mela – Shehri: A city- or district-level showcase of scheme benefits. It’s organized in two parts: September 17-27 and another flexible phase between October 16-31, 2025.
