Fund allocation and Utilisation under BPJY and IAY/PMAY-G

Fund allocation and Utilisation under BPJY and IAY/PMAY-G

• ·         Information prepared and  provided by the PIO has been made to be confused.

• ·        Difficult to understand  how much fund is really budgeted  under BPGY.

• ·        Two Schemes were amalgamated to project construction of all  houses  under BPGY ignoring Central Schemes and giving all credits to State Govt.  , though allocation and utilization of  fund under BPGY is very less.

• ·        Declaration of the Govt for construction of  highest number of houses under BPJY  prior to 2019 election was  made by bringing  all funds under BPGY, ignoring allocation  of Central fund  and  construction of houses under PMAY. 
•  Central Scheme was manipulated and amalgamated with state scheme to take all credits for providing houses to the poor and accordingly propaganda was organised to get votes for election-2019.
