Key Highlights

• These photos and videos of beneficiary testimonies will be scrutinised at the state as well as at the central level.
• The selected beneficiaries from the states and union territories would be awarded and invited as special guests for the anniversary celebration of PMAY (U).
• The application will also allow the beneficiaries to upload selfies with their house and a 30 - 60 seconds video clip where they would share stories of owning a house under PMAY (U).
• These stories would be an emotional recount of experiences such as increased self-esteem, sense of pride and dignity, improved social status, safety and security for the family, protected environment for the girl child and children’s education among others.
