Indira Awaas Yojana, which used to be a component of Jawahar Rozgar Yojana, became an independent scheme from 1997-98 onwards. Its objective is construction of free houses to members of the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes, freed bonded labourers in rural areas and also to non SC/ST Rural poor people living below the poverty line. Beneficiaries are selected from the Below-the-Poverty-Line (BPL) list approved by the Grama Sabha. At least 60% of the total lAY allocation during a financial year should be utilized for construction/upgradation of dwelling units for SC/ST BPL households. A maximum 40% of allocation is for non-SC/ST BPL rural households. 3% of the above categories should be allocated for physically and mentally challenged persons. Government of India has also asked the States to earmark 15% of the beneficiaries from amongst the minorities. New houses as well as upgradation of kutcha houses are being taken up under the scheme. It is funded by the Centre and the State in the ratio of 75:25..
