Convergence with Differential Rate of Interest (DRI) Scheme • IAY beneficiaries eligible for loan of upto Rs. 20000 at 4% rate of • interest • RBI has issued guidelines to public sector banks • Off-take is extremely poor either due to poor awareness among • the beneficiaries or due to lackadaisical attitude of the banks • Up-loaded data shows that total 8622 beneficiaries availed • benefit under DRI in Chhattisgarh (97),Gujarat (6013), Madhya • Pradesh (2000) and West Bengal (508) respectively. • Gujarat has succeeded to some extent due to persistent • persuasion and follow-up with banks • DRDA should pursue the issue with the lead bank of the district • Beneficiaries should also be assisted in approaching and getting • loan under this scheme from the banks • Data in this regard should be regularly uploaded in the MPR • format
Convergence with Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) • IAY Guidelines stipulate convergence of IAY with funds provided under Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) for providing sanitary latrines in IAY houses • Deptt. Of Drinking Water & Sanitation implements TSC under which BPL beneficiaries are provided an incentive of Rs. 3200 (Rs. 3700 in hilly & difficult areas) on construction of a sanitary latrine • The latrine should be constructed within the premises of the house • Presently the number of IAY beneficiaries availing this incentive is very low • Clause for deduction of Rs. 600 from IAY unit assistance in case a beneficiary fails to construct a toilet was deleted from IAY guidelines w.e.f. February, 2006 • To reiterate the provision, a joint letter with Deptt. Of Drinking Water & Sanitation issued on 18th May, 2011 • Efforts are underway to ensure convergence of various schemes with IAY.
Convergence with other schemes • IAY’s Convergence with other schemes:- Provision of Smokeless Chullahs, Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vidutikaran Yojana, Life Insurance Scheme, Health Insurance Scheme, MGNREGA etc. • Uploaded data shows a miniscule number of beneficiaries availing the benefits available on account of these convergence • DRDAs should be pro-active in creating much greater degree of awareness among the beneficiaries of such benefits available to them
New Initiatives • Rs. 48,500 for 78 Left Wing Extremist districts (8 districts in Andhra Pradesh, 9 districts in Bihar, 10 districts in Chhattisgarh, 17 districts in Jharkhand, 8 districts in Madhya Pradesh, 2 districts in Maharashtra, 18 districts in Odisha, 3 districts in Uttar Pradesh, 3 districts in West Bengal vide letter No. J-12012/1/2007-RH dated 7/10/2010 (35 distts.), L.

(Letter No. J-12012/1/2011-RH dated 2/11/2011) • Adoption of saturation and cluster approach with village as a project unit for integrated habitat development including IAY house, drinking water supply and sanitation. (Letter No. J-12012/1/2011-RH dated 2/11/2011) • Rs.300 per house allowed to be utilised towards monitoring, technical support and maintenance of IAY-MIS in IAP districts (Letter No. K-11024/1/06-RH(part) dated 28/02/2012) Relaxation of guidelines for IAP districts
Issues for Discussion • Cost of unit assistance under IAY is considered insufficient keeping in view the overall increase in construction materials and labour. • Inspite of continuous monitoring, permanent IAY waitlists are still not finalized /painted in many States/UTs • Targets fixed for each category are not achieved. • DRDAs should work actively with IAY beneficiaries and provide required technical information about disaster resistant construction of the house as well as low-cost /environment friendly technologies.
Issues for Discussion • DRDAs to ensure that the IAY beneficiaries get benefits under the Schemes converged with IAY especially the benefit under TSC drinking water, RGGVY etc. • Uploading of IAY beneficiaries data through MIS is very slow and may be speeded up. • Some of the UTs are not reporting the physical/financial performance online. It may be ensured that the data is submitted online by the UTs as non-uploading of data by some of the UTs has resulted in decreased achievement of target in the RFD. • Low utilization of DRI scheme.
