Ludhiana, the first metropolitan center in Punjab, is experiencing rapid growth of slums and large-scale migration, creating physical, demographic, and environmental imbalances. This has led to a demand for urban infrastructure and civic services. With 209 slums, mostly located in industrial areas, these unplanned rural habitations have limited municipal facilities and are not always synonymous with poverty. The migrant workforce needs proper living spaces and environments for harmonious growth. This study intends to evaluate the housing options that PMAY-eligible slum dwellers in Ludhiana city have access to, as well as the obstacles that they must overcome in order to receive and make use of these benefits. The slum population in Ludhiana, which constitutes 22% of the city population, is disproportionately high due to the informal sector's inability to accommodate all workforces. This leads to poor migrants staying in slums due to high housing costs. To address this issue, recommendations are made at the city, policy, program, and organization levels. The strategy is to reach low-income communities, utilizing local resources and forming community organizations to promote physical upgrading and integration. A mixed-methods’ approach will be used for the study, consisting of qualitative interviews with primary stakeholders and a quantitative survey of slum dwellers. The purpose of the quantitative survey is to gather information on the housing needs and preferences of slum dwellers, as well as their knowledge of PMAY and their experiences using the program's advantages. The purpose of the qualitative interviews is to investigate the obstacles that impoverished people have when trying to get and make use of PMAY benefits, in addition to the viewpoints of important stakeholders regarding the scheme's execution. The results of this study will shed important light on the housing requirements and preferences of slum residents in Ludhiana, as well as the difficulties they have in obtaining and making use of PMAY subsidies. This study will provide valuable insights to develop targeted interventions aimed at enhancing slum residents’ use of PMAY benefits and guaranteeing their access to reasonably priced and suitable homes.
