This is a 75:25 sharing basis centrally sponsored scheme being executed
between centre and state. Previously it was a sub-scheme of JRY but from 1996-97 onwards,
it has been made an independent scheme which aims at providing houses to the members of
SCs and Non-SCs free of cost in the rural areas. Beneficiaries are selected from the list of
eligible BPL households. The houses under this scheme should normally be built on
individual plots in the main habitation of the village, but can also be built on micro-habitat
approach or in cluster within a habitation, so as to facilitate the development of infrastructure
such as internal roads, drains, drinking water supply and other common facilities. Upto the
