This is Mahato Bauri in front of IAY house he is constructing in his village Bahadurpur under Eral GP of Ausgram 2 block when we visited today.
- The house is made of mud with bamboo support, traditionally. As per norms of IAY pucca brick wall house with asbestos roof is to be constructed at the cost of Rs 45000.
- Considering the high cost of bricks and cement it is not possible to construct house with Rs 45000 without own imvestment of at least Rs 25000 to 35000, that is not affordable to poor tribals. So they prefer mud house, double storied out of IAY funds. Several beneficiaries of these areas did the same despite adverse reports by visiting national monitors from Govt of India. We are aso convinced about quality of house constructed by these tribals and understands their difficulties.
- Visited several houses today in three villages including Geetanjali pucca houses constructed at the cost of Rs 1.64 lakhs. Plinth area of both houses is 245 Sq Feet each but IAY costs Rs 45000 only and Geetanjali Rs 1.64 lakhs.
- Both the houses are two rooms with four windows and two doors.
