Odisha urban housing development and reforms

Overview

Odisha has received national recognition for its urban housing reforms. The Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs presented a Special Recognition Award to the state for implementing the highest number of reforms under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U) 2.0, noting improvements in administrative efficiency and technology use.

Following this recognition, the state government announced an expansion of its housing initiatives. Under the Antyodaya Gruha Yojana, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi approved the construction of an additional 291,666 houses, extending the scheme’s deadline from 2027 to 2029. This expansion is funded by reallocating ₹3,500 crore from housing repair funds toward new construction to support families not qualifying for PMAY assistance.

Additionally, the Odisha Liveable Habitat Mission is fast-tracking affordable housing for 10,000 urban households across nine Urban Local Bodies, with a specific focus on landless families, destitute individuals, and older persons.
