The houses given under this scheme will be owned by females or jointly with males.[1]

Previous schemes
"Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY)" was an Indian government program that attempts to help slum dwellers gain appropriate housing and address the processes by which slums are created and reproduced. It was introduced by the Indian government's Ministry of Housing and urban poverty Alleviation.[10] The programme was a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, which ran from 2013 to 2014.[11] The scheme aimed to make India slum-free by 2022 by providing people with shelter or housing, free of cost. It began with a pilot project, before launching in mission mode.[12] The government earmarked ₹322.30 billion (US$4.8 billion) for its implementation during India's 12th Five Year Plan.[10] One million beneficiaries were proposed to be covered under Rajiv Awas Yojana.[13]
Site selection was to be made by the states in consultation with the Centre giving priority to district headquarters, cities of religious heritage and tourist importance, with due consideration to the criterion of the pace of growth of the city, of slums within the city and predominance of Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and minority population and other weaker and vulnerable section of the society.[10]
