Provision of affordable housing in rural areas and thereby ensuring homestead plots to all rural poor by 2011-12 & replacement of all kutcha houses by 2016-17. |
- Finalization of National Rural Housing & Habitat Policy
The scope of IAY is limited to providing grant as per budget allocation. There is need to address concerns of rural housing for all and to expand scope of IAY to include sustainable habitat development. In such an effort States need to partner with Central Government and there is need to launch the National Rural Housing & Habitat Policy
- Preparation of State Action Plans
Each State needs to prepare an Action Plan for the purpose of achieving the goals of the vision / policy and to indicate therein source of funding and timelines.
- Access to Land
Provide adequate funds for land purchase/acquisition and to incentivize states to allot homestead to all poor within the prescribed timeframe.
- Access to Finance
Provide grant for house construction for the poorest, vulnerable and the Below Poverty Line (BPL). Also make credit accessible at concessional rates of interest for BPL, Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) and at relatively low rates to enable Above Poverty Line (APL) for taking up rural housing.
- Availability of Grants
Grants are to be provided for the poorest and vulnerable under IAY so that these category of people need not depend on credit from banks
- Formulation of Bankable Schemes
Bankable schemes need to be rolled out so that funding is available at concessional rates and is affordable for rural housing for BPL, EWS & APL
- Involvement of Self Help Groups (SHGs)
SHGs can act as facilitators in generating additional investment and in constructing houses
