PM Awas Yojana in Bihar is moving slowly as more than eight lakh approved houses are still not built. The scheme aims to provide permanent homes to poor families across the state.
Officials started work under PM Awas Yojana in Bihar after the 2018–19 survey. The survey identified around 30 lakh families who needed houses. The central government approved about 12.20 lakh houses for the financial years 2024-25 and 2025-26.
However, construction progress remains slow. Authorities have completed only around four lakh houses so far. More than eight lakh houses are still pending across many districts.
Funding delays also slowed the work. The central government did not release funds between July 2025 and February 2026. This pause stopped construction in several areas.
Later, the Centre released ₹90 crore and ₹950 crore in March 2026. The Bihar government also added ₹631 crore to speed up construction.
A new survey in 2025 identified around 1.04 crore families. Out of them, about 60 lakh families may qualify for housing support in the future.
