Housing

♤ To meet the goal of Housing for All by 2022, there is need to develop state specific plans along with work schedules and explicitly defined targets. The plan should involve various types of low cost and disaster resilient housing models that can use materials found in various parts of the country.

♤ Another priority is to ensure that the funds are released on timely manner based on evidences of completion of each stage of the projects. The monitoring mechanism should be strengthened by the introduction of geo-tagged photographs of house construction as well as compulsory social audits.
