(VAMBAY) and National Slum Development Programme (NSDP). IHSDP is to be implemented in all
towns and cities identified as per 2001 census cities, except cities/towns covered under JNNURM.
(Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi Corporations).

relocation projects including new house construction/improvement of houses and infrastructural
facilities. The financing pattern of the scheme is in the ratio of 80:20 by Central and State
Governments. Beneficiary share (12% for General and 10% for SC/ST) is stipulated for projects
for individual beneficiaries like housing. Out of 20% State share, the balance fund after deducting
beneficiary share will be borne equally by the ULB and State (Maximum state share is 10% of the
