Uttarakhand Dhaulas Housing Scheme

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

The Uttarakhand Dhaulas Housing Scheme is an affordable housing project being developed by the Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority (MDDA) at Dhaulas in Dehradun under the Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP) component of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY-U). The project aims to provide affordable pucca houses to eligible Economically Weaker Section (EWS) families who do not own a permanent house. Instead of providing free houses, the scheme follows a cost-sharing model in which the Central Government, the Government of Uttarakhand, MDDA and the beneficiary jointly contribute towards the cost of each dwelling unit. Under the project, a total of 240 EWS dwelling units (flats) are proposed to be constructed. The scheme follows a cost-sharing model instead of providing free houses.

According to the approved project proposal, the cost of one EWS dwelling unit is Rs. 8.15 lakh. Out of this amount, the Central Government provides financial assistance of Rs. 1.50 lakh under PMAY, the Government of Uttarakhand contributes Rs. 1.00 lakh, and MDDA bears Rs. 1.15 lakh. The remaining Rs. 4.50 lakh is to be paid by the beneficiary. This financial contribution pattern significantly reduces the overall cost of purchasing a house, making home ownership more affordable for eligible low-income families.

The Dhaulas Housing Scheme is intended for eligible EWS families who fulfil the eligibility conditions prescribed under PMAY-U and the project guidelines. Applicants must not own a pucca house anywhere in India and should satisfy the income and other eligibility requirements notified under the scheme. Preference in allotment may be given to eligible applicants belonging to priority categories such as women, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), minority communities and other vulnerable groups in accordance with PMAY-U guidelines.

Recently, the MDDA has conducted the allotment of 232 EWS flats under the Dhaulas Awasiya Yojana through a fully digital and transparent lottery process. The lottery was conducted in the presence of beneficiaries and officials to ensure transparency. During the allotment, priority was given to 4 Divyang beneficiaries and 2 Senior Citizens by allotting them ground floor flats. Future allotments, if any, will be carried out as per the notifications issued by MDDA.
