IAY benefits 'selective' Poor, deserving suffers apathy | | | Ashwani Sharma Early Times Report Udhampur, May 21: The popular scheme Indira Awas Yogna (IAY) intended to give shelter to the poor has miserably failed here as many poor families have either no knowledge of it or hardly find their names in the list of beneficiaries. A poor farmer of village Bari tehsil Ramnager here said that his mud house is likely to fall anytime and during rains the water drenches the entire house inside out. "We have a tough time in this house and all my hopes on IAY were shattered when I was told by an official that my name does not exist in the list of beneficiaries," another local told this reporter. He also said that locally the Gram Sewak and other concerned persons should take the matter seriously and enlist the most deserving people for the scheme. Another poor man though in dire need of a proper house said that he has no knowledge of the scheme. He however said that none will come to help the poor and blamed corruption as the main hindrance. |
