The aim is to fulfill the dreams of poor people sleeping under an assured pucca roof. Lower-income groups have benefitted the most. Another significant hallmark is that eighty percent of these sanctioned houses are owned by women. The PMAY scheme thus empowers women and strives to give them either full ownership or joint ownership. The scheme has also been highly profitable for minorities, single women, the old and disabled, and transgender people.
