The village got aide and support from District Rural Development Authority. Expenditures were born by central & state in 80:20 ratios.

Since 1993-94 the Yojna was made more targets oriented and expanded substantially through increased budgetary allocations. It was divided into 3 streams.

First Stream: Comprising general works under JRY and also two sub schemes [[Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awaas Yojana|Indira Awas Yojana]] and [[Million Wells Scheme]]. This stream got 75% of the total allocation. In [https://www.newdelhiawasyojna.com/ New Delhi Awas Yojna] the allocation was increased from 6% to 10% and in Million Wells Scheme from 20% to 30% during that period.

Second Stream: This was also called intensified JRY and was implemented in selected 120 backward districts. It got 20% allocation.

Third Stream: This was left with 5% allocation for Innovative programs which included Prevention of labor migration, drought proofing watershed etc. programs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gktoday.in/jawahar-rozgar-yojna_22/|title=Jawahar Rozgar Yojna - General Knowledge }}</ref>

The '''Rural Landless Employment Guarantee Programme''' ('''RLEGP''') was launched on 15 August 1983 by Prime Minister of India [[Indira Gandhi]] during the [[Five-Year Plans of India|Sixth Five-Year Plan]]. The entire expenditure of this Programme was financed by Central Government. While most of the objectives and stipulations under this were similar to those of [[National Rural Employment Programme]] (NREP), it was to be limited only to the landless, with guaranteed employment of 100 days. Moreover, there was earmarking of funds specifically for certain activities- 25 per cent for social forestry, 10 per cent for works benefitting only the [[Scheduled Castes ]]/ [[Scheduled Tribes]] and 20 per cent for housing under [[Indira Awaas Yojana]]. In the [[Five-Year Plans of India|Seventh Plan]], Rs.2412 crores were spent and 115 crore man days were generated with an average expenditure of Rs.21.00 per man day. Only 16 per cent had been spent on social forestry but 22 per cent had been spent on housing,- with over five lakh houses created for SC/ST and freed bonded labourers. Rural roads accounted for 22 per cent while other construction, minor irrigation, soil conservation etc. Each had a small share.
