AwaasApp

AwaasApp provides a robust solution for beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAYG) or similar rural housing schemes to oversee and report the progress of their house construction. This platform streamlines the process for homeowners or their representatives to ensure they receive financial installments promptly by submitting updated photographs and construction statuses. These images, stamped with time and geo-coordinates, act as proof of progress. The application's ease of use is enhanced by a secure One Time Password (OTP) login feature, which sends an OTP to the beneficiary's registered mobile number at the sanctioning stage of the house.

In addition to assisting homeowners, the app is a valuable tool for PMAY house inspectors. It allows these professionals to efficiently inspect houses and ensure adherence to the program's standards, leveraging the same credentials they use on the AwaasSoft portal. The platform's photo verification is not just a simple upload process; the images must pass a further review by block office officials in the AwaasSoft e-governance system, which finalizes the inspection process.

Benefits of using this system include expedited financial assistance, accountability through geo-tagged photographic evidence, and a simplified verification process. Its features aim at eliminating delays and enhancing transparency in the construction and inspection phases of rural housing — making it an essential tool for stakeholders in government-aided housing projects. This streamlined approach ensures a more efficient housing delivery system that benefits both beneficiaries and inspectors.
