The India Nuclear Insurance Pool, launched earlier this week by General Insurance Corporation of India and 11 other non-life insurers, will help in going ahead with the development of the long-pending Gorakhpur Haryana Anu Vidyut Pariyojana (GHAVP) nuclear power plant in Haryana, Jitendra Singh, Minister of State for Atomic Energy, said on Saturday.

“The GHAVP was supposed to be a pressurised heavy water reactor sanctioned by the previous Government. But it has met with several delays as tenders were not getting mature due to a lack of an insurance pool. But with the launch of the India Nuclear Insurance Pool, we are confident that the project will now finally move ahead,” said Singh.

What is Indira Awaas Yojana?

6/11/2015 10:55:00 AM

Food, shelter and cloth are the basic human needs and to have these is the right of every individual. The Ministry of Rural Development in India looks after the rural development and takes care of the rural needs. Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY) is one of the many programmes of the Ministry of Rural Development. IAY deals with the housing issue and promises to provide shelter to shelterless. It fulfills the housing need of poor rural people who are living below the poverty line (BPL).

Indira Awaas Yojana came in 1985-86 as a part of the Rural Landless Employment Guarantee Programme (RLEGP). It was launched to provide uniformity in the policy for rural housing. There were schemes even before IAY but some schemes used to provide the complete housing and others used to bear just the cost of construction. IAY continued to be a sub scheme of Jawahar Rozgar Yojana (JRY). Initially only 6% funding of JRY was allocated to Indira Awaas Yojana which was later on doubled. Both Center and State contribute to the funds for the Yojana in the ratio of 75:25. In case of Sikkim and North-Eastern states the funding is in the ratio of 90:10

.To begin with family living below poverty line used to get Rs 45,000 to construct a house in plain area and Rs 48,500 to construct house in hilly and difficult area. The financial assistance has been increased to Rs 70,000 and Rs 75,000 w.e.f. 1st April 2013. IAY beneficiaries can also avail loan of up to Rs 20,000 to construct a house at an annual interest of 4%.IAY funds can also be allocated to up grade kuccha houses.

Salient features of Indira Awaas Yojana

While allocating funds under this scheme, 75% weightage is given to the scarcity of housing and 25% to poverty ratio. SC/ST gets benefit as 60%funds are for them, physically handicapped enjoys 3% share in funds and minorities have 15% share in the total funds.
