The Bangla Awas Yojana (BAY) is a significant housing initiative launched by the Government of West Bengal under the Department of Housing. The scheme aims to provide affordable homes to the economically weaker sections of the state, particularly for those who have not benefited from the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). The initiative is designed to improve living conditions for poor and needy families by offering them the opportunity to own homes.
The Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, has allocated substantial funds for the success of this scheme. The primary goal of BAY is to ensure that all eligible residents of West Bengal have access to affordable housing, promoting better living standards for marginalized groups. The scheme targets individuals who meet specific criteria for housing assistance.
What is Bangla Awas Yojana?
The Bangla Awas Yojana (BAY) is a government initiative in West Bengal aimed at providing affordable housing to the economically disadvantaged sections of the population. It primarily targets individuals who are unable to build their own homes due to financial instability, lack of land, or other challenges. The scheme focuses on Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), widows, disabled individuals, elderly people, minorities, and families living in poverty. The government’s objective is to ensure that every eligible beneficiary receives a house.
To maintain transparency in beneficiary selection, a thorough checking process is conducted at the block level, and issues or disputes are re-examined by senior district officials. However, there have been protests in different parts of Bengal, as some beneficiaries claim their names were excluded from the list, highlighting concerns over the fairness of the selection process.
