karnataka housing board schemes . all schemesnarinav14
The Karnataka government, along with the central government’s Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), offers various housing schemes to cater to the diverse needs of citizens across the state. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the major housing schemes available in the Karnataka housing board for both urban and rural areas in 2024.
Indira awas yojana housing scheme renamed as PMAYnarinav14
Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) played a significant role in addressing rural housing needs in India. It emerged as a comprehensive program for affordable housing solutions in rural areas, predating the government’s broader focus on mass housing initiatives.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

85. E V M
• EVMs manufactured in 1989-90 were used on
experimental basis for the first time in 16
Assembly Constituencies in the States of Madhya
Pradesh (5), Rajasthan (5) and NCT of Delhi (6) at
the General Elections to the respective Legislative
Assemblies held in November, 1998.
• EVMs can record a maximum of 3840 votes. As
normally the total number of electors in a polling
station will not exceed 1500, the capacity of
EVMs is more than sufficient.
10/18/2015 85
RADHAKRISHNAN PG

86. • EVMs can cater to a maximum of 64 candidates.
There is provision for 16 candidates in a Balloting
Unit. If the total number of candidates exceeds
16, a second Balloting Unit can be linked parallel
to the first Balloting Unit. Similarly, if the total
number of candidates exceeds 32, a third
Balloting Unit can be attached and if the total
number of candidates exceeds 48, a fourth
Balloting Unit can be attached to cater to a
maximum of 64 candidates

87. • In case the number of contesting candidates
goes beyond 64 in any constituency, EVMs
cannot be used in such a constituency. The
conventional method of voting by means of
ballot box and ballot paper will have to be
adopted in such a constituency.
