Abstract India’s rural housing landscape has undergone significant transformation with the implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Gramin (PMAY-G), launched in 2016 with the goal of achieving “Housing for All” by 2022. This study evaluates the socioeconomic impact of PMAY-G on rural beneficiaries in Manipur, focusing on its role in poverty alleviation, social empowerment, and infrastructure development. The research highlights how PMAY-G has improved living standards by providing permanent housing with essential amenities such as sanitation, electricity, and LPG connections, while also empowering women through property ownership. Additionally, the scheme’s linkage with MGNREGA has contributed to employment generation and economic stability in rural areas. Despite its successes, the study identifies key challenges such as delays in fund disbursement, high construction costs, and quality issues, which have limited the scheme’s full potential. A descriptive survey method was used to collect primary data from both beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries, while secondary data was gathered from government reports, journals, and research articles. The findings emphasize the need for improved implementation strategies, enhanced financial assistance, and better coordination with local governance bodies to address existing gaps. By analyzing PMAY-G’s effectiveness in improving housing infrastructure and rural living conditions in Manipur, this study provides valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders in enhancing the reach and impact of rural housing initiatives across India.
