To monitor the number of houses being constructed every year
through various government sponsored housing schemes such as JnNURM and Rajiv
Awas Yojana (RAY), the centre has launched Housing Start Up Index (HSUI) and a
monitoring tool “Integrated Urban Poverty Monitoring System” (IPoMs).
While launching the initiatives, Dr Girija Vyas, Union
Minister for Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation, said, “HSUI is an index
that will track the number of houses being constructed every year across the
country. The Housing and Construction related activities in our country with
its backward and forward linkages and with nearly 254 ancillary industries have
huge multiplier effects on the economy. Hence HSUI would indirectly indicate
the growth of National Economy itself.”
Housing Start Up Index is a joint initiative of the Ministry
of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (MoHUPA) through its integral arm –
the National Building Organization and the Reserve Bank of India.
The minister also disclosed that the results of the pilot
index initiated in 25 cities would be released in the last week of this month
or first week of February 2014.
In her address, she spoke about the various pro-poor housing schemes such as JnNURM, Rajiv Awas Yojana, Rajiv Rinn Yojana (RRY) and National Urban Livelihoods Mission (NULM). Dr Vyas also highlighted the Socio Economic Caste Census (SECC), developed by the MoHUPA, which is a first time initiative in the country. The minister also highlighted other achievements of her department such as Real Estate regulation Bill and the Street Vendors Bill.
The event culminated with the launch of the web-based MIS system Integrated Urban Poverty Monitoring System (IPoMS) for JnNURM & RAY. In order to closely monitor the submission of the Detailed Project Reports under RAY by the States, a web-based tool called the Integrated Urban Poverty Monitoring System or IPoMs has been designed by the Ministry. Through this tool, the implementation of the scheme can be expedited and tracked effectively. This will also ensure transparency and accountability in the implementation of the scheme.
