`Mo Kudia’ low cost housing scheme in Orissa
Mo Kudia, Odisha govt. action, RURAL & SPECIAL PROGRAMS January 31st. 2008, 10:41amFollowing is an excerpt from a report in Hindu.
Accusing the Centre of depriving ten lakh families in Orissa of the benefits meant for the poor by insisting on listing BPL families in Orissa according to the 2002 list, the Orissa government has announced a low cost housing scheme to cover all those denied houses under the central programme, official sources said.
"Mo Kudia" (My Hut) scheme has been launched to provide houses to 10 lakh poor families who would be deprived of the benefits meant for families living below the poverty line (bpl), Panchayati Raj Minister Raghunath Mohanty said.
The BPL families were entitled to get houses under Indira Awas Yojana (IAY), ration cards and old age pensions.
…The decision to launch +Mo Kudia+ scheme was taken at a high-level meeting presided over by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik here.
Mohanty said the state government had decided to give Rs 25,000 to each BPL family denied a house.
He said nearly 10 lakh people living below poverty line would be deleted from the list, if the state government accepted the fresh list prepared in 2002.
According to a survey of poor people in 1997, nearly 44 lakh families were identified as BPL. But the statistics changed in 2002 when the number of BPL families in the state was reduced to 34 lakh.
