What the record shows
On 17 September 2026, addressing an Annapurna Yojana event in West Bengal by video link, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said more than 5 million (50 lakh) new poor families in the state had been identified to receive permanent houses under PM Awas. The PMO's release says they 'will soon receive' them, without a completion date. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari relayed the announcement at the event and, per PTI, said all new houses would be owned by women. Modi's speech text refers instead to joint ownership in PM Awas houses.
