: VAMBAY (Valmiki Ambedkar Awas Yojana) :


VAMBAY (Valmiki Ambedkar Awas Yojana) is a centrally sponsored scheme targeted for providing housing to the urban poor with a view to creating slumless cities. Under the scheme, Govt. of India provides 50% subsidy for the construction of dwelling units. In the case of KMA, the cost of each dwelling unit is about Rs. 60,000/-. So, the GOI's subsidy is Rs.30,000/- per dwelling unit. The cost of land as well as cost of the infrastructure services is being borne by KMDA/State Govt. The beneficiaries are mainly downtrodden people of the society belonging to SC, ST, Backward Classes, Other weaker sections (OBC, BC, etc.) and physically & mentally handicapped persons and others.
 KMDA has embarked upon a programme of construction of 2190 one-roomed self-contained dwelling units each having an area chiefly varying between 219-220 sq.ft. per unit in 3/4 storied buildings.
