1. Story of Shri Tiken Das
Shri Tiken Das (bearing beneficiary id AS1464380) is a resident of Chatanguri Village of Konwar Gaon Gaon Panchayat of Bhurbanda Development Block of Morigaon District of Assam. Shri Das is a single person and has nobody to call as his family. He was earning a meagre income by weaving traditional cloths. He used to live in a dilapidated kutcha house in which he faced a lot of problems during rains. As the rainy season is long in Assam the troubles kept on recurring. With meagre income and no support for anybody, he never even dreamt of a full-fledged pucca house. All he wanted to be a stable house which could save him from rain.
He was very happily surprised when a representative of the Gaon Panchayat informed him that his name has appeared in the Permeant Wait List of PMAY-G and he would soon be receiving a house from Government.
His existing kutcha house was GEO Tagged on 3rd February 2017 and without wasting any time he was immediately sanctioned a house on 4th of February 2017 and his 1st instalment was transferred on 9th February 2017. The house was built at a good pace and the 2nd Instalment was transferred on 10th April 2018 and the 3rd Instalment was transferred on 28th June 2017 and was soon completed after. He had also received a toilet under Swachh Bharat Mission -Gramin.

2. Success Story of Smti Merry Hembrom
Pradhan Mantri Aawas Yojana - Gramin (PMAY-G), the national rural housing scheme for the rural poor and destitute was implemented from 2016-17. The scheme was launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India with an objective to provide housing for all Indians by 2022. This holistic scheme is aimed at providing not only the house to the rural poor but also to provide IHHL (Individual Household Latrine), cooking gas connection, electricity connection, etc.
PMAY-G beneficiaries are selected from the SECC permanent waitlist after proper verification of their eligibility by the engineers in the field. Once a beneficiary is selected, then her/his application is registered in AawaasSoft and sanction is accorded by the District Program Coordinator. The first instalment is then released @Rs 32,500/- to construct the plinth and then geo-tagged by the engineers after inspecting the quality. Subsequently, second instalment is released @Rs 78,000/- to construct up to roof cast. The third instalment is released @Rs 19,500/- to complete plastering of walls and floors along with paint. Beneficiaries are provided with an additional 95 days wages @Rs 189/day from MGNREGA and IHHL @Rs 12,000/- from MGNREGA, if it is not provided by Swachh Bharat Mission - Gramin.
Smti Merry Hembrom is one such beneficiary of PMAY-G scheme. She used to live in a small kutcha house in Shrirampur No. 1 village in Hatidhura Block of Kokrajhar district of Assam. She is a Christian Minority woman who works as a manual casual labourer, in daily wage system.
