Awaas App is an Android-based mobile application designed to streamline the reporting and inspection process for rural housing under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana – Gramin (PMAY-G). The app serves a dual purpose:
- For PMAY-G Beneficiaries: It enables beneficiaries or their representatives to upload real-time progress reports of house construction. This helps them secure the next installment of financial assistance without delays
- For PMAY-G Inspectors: Designated housing inspectors use the app to conduct on-site inspections of houses constructed under PMAY-G or other rural housing schemes integrated with AwaasSoft—the e-Governance solution of the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD)
Key Features:
- Captures high-quality images with time-stamp and geo-coordinates at each construction stage
- Ensures faster verification by the Block Office on AwaasSoft, preventing delays
- Enhances transparency and reduces fraud through real-time tracking
By integrating technology and governance, Awaas App makes
- Faster Fund Disbursement: Beneficiaries receive their next installment of financial aid promptly
- Transparency & Accountability: Geo-tagged and time-stamped photos reduce the risk of fraud
- Improved Monitoring: Inspectors can efficiently track progress across multiple housing projects
