The Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (CGS.1) Department issued Government Order (Ms.) No. 116 on 20 September 2021, constituting a Task Force to provide land to landless beneficiaries under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (Gramin).

Purpose
Government Order (Ms.) No. 116, dated 20 September 2021, was issued by the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (CGS.1) Department to constitute a Task Force for providing land to landless beneficiaries under Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (Gramin), known as PMAY(G).
The Government of India described PMAY(G) as a time bound flagship programme with the goal of "Housing for All by 2022". Under the scheme, State governments are responsible for providing land to beneficiaries who do not own land.
Why the Task Force was formed
The Government of India informed the State that delays in providing land to landless beneficiaries were one reason for the slow progress of PMAY(G). Although the scheme gives the highest priority to landless beneficiaries, many had still not received land.
The Government of India requested a Task Force involving the Revenue Secretary and the Secretary responsible for PMAY(G), with the objective of providing land to all landless beneficiaries under the scheme within the next two months. The Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj then proposed the State level Task Force, and the Government accepted that proposal.

Government Order (Ms.) No. 116 assigns the following roles:
- Principal Secretary to Government, Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Chairperson.
- Principal Secretary to Government, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department, Vice Chairperson.

The Revenue and Disaster Management Department concurred with the issue of the order.
