Abstract

In the light of development of the country and the wellbeing of citizens, India being a welfare state, has introduced a number of schemes that provide livelihood to the homeless in various states and nationally as well. The Constitution of India initially consisted the right to property as a fundamental right which was amended by virtue of the 44th amendment, the main reason for this abolishment was to remove the zamindari system prevailing during the time of independence and to promote equal distribution of land.  Several schemes have been introduced by the Parliament and State Legislatures to overcome the same problem. That is to provide land to the landless and to secure a means of livelihood, a home, to the homeless present in the country. The statistics and data reveal that the reach of these schemes is limited. PMAY-G is a scheme initiated in 2015 with the same object and will be dealt with in detail. It is prominent to note that homestead less arises due to poverty and poverty due to illiteracy.
