The Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation is implementing a Central sector scheme called Urban Statistics for HR and Assessments (USHA). The scheme supports National Resource Centre on Data base, MIS, Surveys, Monitoring, Impact Assessment, Action Research and Capacity Building relating to Urban Poverty, Slums, Housing, Building Construction and other Urban Statistics.
USHA is a scheme for supporting development or urban statistics and no programme has been started by the Government for development of slums under USHA. However, the Government has announced a new scheme called Rajiv Awas Yojana for slum dwellers and urban poor aimed at ushering in a Slum-Free India through provision of Central support to States that are willing to assign property rights to slum dwellers.
