Jan Awas YojanaAffordable Housing Policy-2009 was launched in Dec. 2009 but due to certain shortcomings and bottlenecks in the implementation of policy, much progress could not be achieved. New policy has been prepared after review of existing policy and incorporating learnings from the past experiences, feedback from various stakeholders and new policy initiatives by the Government of India. This policy is named as "Chief Minister's Jan Avas Yojna-2015".
