Overview

Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY), a flagship programme of Ministry of Rural Development Department (MoRD), Government of India (Gol) aims at helping rural people Below Poverty-Line (BPL) belonging to SCs/STs, freed bonded labourers and non-SC/ST categories in construction of dwelling units and upgradation of existing unserviceable kutcha houses by providing assistance in the form of full grant. The programme was being implemented in the State with effect from 1 January 1996. Besides, a scheme for providing homestead sites to those rural BPL households who neither have agricultural land nor a house site was launched as part of IAY with effect from 24 August 2009. The scheme was being implemented through the Zilla Parishads/DRDAs.

The performance audit of IAY in Assam was aimed at reviewing the efforts of the State Government for implementation of the Scheme and highlighting the areas and issues of concern which need to be addressed for the successful achievement of the objectives of the scheme. Against the total funds of Rs. 3,973.54 crore available in the State under the scheme during the period of 2008-13, Rs. 3,836.12 crore (96.54 per cent)was reported to have been spent for providing houses (New Construction) to the beneficiaries. Out of the total 8.95 lakh houses sanctioned during 2008-13, 7.34 lakh houses (82 per cent) were completed during the period.

The performance audit brought out some positive achievements of the State Government relating to implementation of the scheme viz., creation of a cluster of 177 houses during 2012-13 in Nagaon district. It was also noticed during joint survey that the responses of the beneficiaries was favourable indicating that most of the beneficiaries did not face any problem in getting allotment of houses under the scheme.
