“Roof for Every Indian by 2022” entailing the ambitious goal of building 40 million homes was set by India’s honorable Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi and the same was highlighted in his first speech after India’s election to the UN Security Council as a non-permanent member for 2 years till 2022.
With a population of more than 130 billion people, or nearly one-sixth of humanity, India faces a huge challenge in providing its people with a "safe and secure" roof. The Government of India, through its "Housing for All" initiative, has committed to completing the aforementioned difficult task by 2022, when India will celebrate 75 years of independence. This is consistent with the government's mantra of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas, Sabka Vishwas," which is also consistent with the central UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of leaving no one behind.
An important factor in achieving this goal is "Affordable Housing", Low-cost sustainable housing with the help of modern technology is the only way forward. People are migrating to urban areas with hopes of better living standards. These people moving from villages are forced to live in temporary slums in metro cities where housing prices have skyrocketed. Which not only deteriorates the quality of life of those living in slums but also burdens the cities’ resources. This book explores various approaches to overcome these problems and also discusses the Global Scenario of Affordable Housing, the initiatives of the Government of India, Public-Private Partnerships, Affordable Rental Housing Complexes, and the Nano Housing concept and case study.
