Solution

The correct option is A Only A
Indira Awas Yojana (IAY): The Indira Awas Yojana was started in 1985-86 as a sub-plan of RLEGP. In 1989-90, after merging the RLEGP with Jawahar Rojgar Yojana, this plan also became a part of Jawahar Rojgar Yojana (JRY). Since January 1, 1996 it was again separated from JRY and was given an independent status. The objective of IAY is to provide financial assistance for construction or upgradation of houses to BPL rural households belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, freed bonded labourers, non SC/ST rural households, widows and physically handicapped persons living in the rural areas. At present, it is the flagship programme for rural housing.
