Govt Indira Awaas Yojana Jobs 2022 - Sarkari Naukri

Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY), a flagship scheme of the Ministry of Rural
Development has since inception been providing assistance to BPL families
who are either houseless or having inadequate housing facilities for
constructing a safe and durable shelter. This effort has been part of a larger
strategy of the Ministry’s poverty eradication effort, supporting the
development of an environmentally sound habitat with adequate provisions
for incremental expansion and improvement.
Ministry’s commitment of shelter for all gained further momentum
when India became a signatory to the Istanbul Declaration on Human
Settlement in June 1996 recognising thereby the need for access to safe and
healthy shelter and basic services as are essential of a person’s physical,
psychological, social and economic well being. The object of the habitat
approach is to achieve adequate shelter for all, especially the deprived urban
and rural poor through an enabling approach leading to development and
improvements in access to basic facilities like infrastructure, safe drinking
water, sanitation, electricity etc.
