The Central Government is implementing _____ since 1985-86 with the objective of providing dwelling units free of cost to Below Poverty Line (BPL) families in rural areas.
Answer: B
Indira Awaas Yojana was started in 1985-86 to provide free dwelling units to rural families below the poverty line. It was later restructured into the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana (Gramin). Atal Pension Yojana is a pension scheme, TRYSEM trained rural youth for self-employment, and SGRY was a wage employment scheme, so none of these provides houses. IAY started as part of the Rural Landless Employment Guarantee Programme and became a separate scheme in 1996; it gave financial assistance for building houses to rural families below the poverty line, including members of scheduled castes and tribes.
