Slum Rehabilitation Programs — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

Focus on memorizing specific scheme details: PMAY-U components, funding patterns (₹1 lakh central assistance), and implementation mechanisms. Master constitutional articles (21, 19(1)(e), 47) and landmark judgment names with years (Olga Tellis 1985, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation 1997).

Create comparison charts between different schemes (PMAY-U vs RAY vs BSUP) highlighting unique features. Pay attention to state-specific models, particularly Maharashtra SRA with its 70% consent requirement and FSI mechanism.

Practice elimination techniques by understanding common traps: confusing in-situ with relocation, mixing up scheme components, and incorrect financial figures. Current affairs focus on recent Budget allocations, new guidelines, and court orders.

Use mnemonics for scheme components and constitutional provisions.
