Housing for All Mission — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

For Prelims, focus on factual accuracy and key distinctions. Memorize the launch dates of PMAY-U (June 2015) and PMAY-G (November 2016). Understand the four verticals of PMAY-U (ISSR, CLSS, AHP, BLC) and their specific features, including financial assistance amounts and target beneficiaries.

Pay close attention to the eligibility criteria for CLSS across EWS, LIG, and MIG categories. For PMAY-G, remember the unit assistance amounts (₹1.20 lakh plain, ₹1.30 lakh hilly) and the use of SECC 2011 data for beneficiary identification.

Be aware of the nodal ministries (MoHUA for Urban, MoRD for Gramin). Questions often test the constitutional articles related to the Right to Shelter (Article 21, DPSP 38, 39, 46, 47) and the legal frameworks like RERA.

Vyyuha's Exam Radar suggests questions on convergence with other schemes (e.g., MGNREGA, Swachh Bharat) and the role of women's empowerment. Practice MCQs that test subtle differences between components and common misconceptions.

Focus on the 'what, when, who, and how much' aspects.
