Port Blair, Aug. 17: The Member of Parliament Shri Bishnu Pada Ray has reviewed the implementation of the Indira Awas Yojana (A Centrally Sponsored Scheme) in the rural areas of A&N Island. The MP revealed that instead of following the guidelines issued by the GoI, the beneficiaries of the Scheme are supplied with only TIN, CEMENT, NAILS etc. which is against the guidelines to provide Cash Payment @ Rs. 48,000/- per beneficiary.
Pointing out the same to the Lt. Governor, Shri Ray in his letter said that as per the guidelines prescribed in regard with the implementation of the IAY Scheme, each beneficiary should be provided with an amount of Rs. 48,000/-. This was confirmed to him in the Parliament in the year 2003 in a reply to the question raised by him in this regard.
Ray therefore demanded that the practice of supply of Tin, Cement and nails should be immediately stopped and the beneficiaries may be provided with the prescribed amount of Rs.48,000/-.
