Involvement of beneficiaries
The beneficiaries should be involved in the construction of the house. To this end, the
beneficiaries may make

their own arrangements for procuremgnt of construction material,

engage skilled workmen and also col!'byte:faf_tlylqb.our. The beneficiaries will have complete

freedom as

to tfre-rinn.."i."rrtrr.tion of the house. B.D.O.s can help the beneficiaries in to greater satisfaction

acquiring raw material on control rates, if they so desire or request the B.D.O.s in this regard. This will result in economy in cost, ensure quality of construction, lead

and acceptance of the house by the beneficiary. The responsibility for the proper construction

of the house will thus be on the beneficiaries themselves. A Committee may be formed, if so
desired,

to coordinate the work. The Committee shall be sensitized to incorporate hazard-

resistant features in the design of the houses.

Allotment of Houses
Allotment of dwelling units should be in the name of female member of the beneficiary
household. Alternatively, it can be allotted in the name of both

!q!g!q and wife.
