Since the independence in 1947, Every Indian government has had multiple schemes for housing. The planning commission (Now Niti Ayog) has came up with 5 Year plans and the last plan had a deadline to provide house for every family of India by 2022.
Our Honerable Prime Minister’s mission “House for all” by 2022 is actually an implementation of last 5 year plan framework. But the real challenge is not the schemes but the implementation.
For example: from 1 Rs to 18 lac annual income house hold is eligible for Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna (PMAY) schemes. That is actually 40% of India’s population but as per government official data only 1.3 Cr houses have been approved by july 2019.
The organised housing consisting of builder flats,villas, affordable housing are playing a vital role in government’s vision to fullfill the gap. Planned cities like Noida, greater Noida, Gandhinagar, Chandigarh, yamuna Expressways, Bangalore etc are providing all sorts of facilities of transportation, health, education, industry, education and employment. Greater noida and Yamuna expressway having bigger land trench has the capacity to cater both, affordable and luxurious housing for future 10 more years gives a perfect opportunity to buy a house at fair price.
The government thinks that 1.77 million houses are needed to cover all homeless while the real number is very high. Mumbai’s alone homeless are five times of the government’s estimate of 60,000. So with the rest of the country.
Prime minister Modi’s vision to provide home for all consist of providing 10 million houses by this year end and 10 million by 2022 to get every houseless housed.
It’s not an easy task to house every houseless in the second most populous country of the world which is not a developed country and on top of that the geographic conditions also need to consider the adversity such as draught, flood etc.
