Re-Thinking of Housing Renewal Policies in India: A Proposal for PMAY Component-3 at Khateebnagar in Solapur, Maharashtra

Abstract

Abundant schemes have been formulated across the globe in order to provide housing for people of lower income groups. Every country has made the necessary changes in housing policies as per global standards. The housing policies started in India post-independence, that is after 1950, have been spread into four phases, Phase I (1950-1960), phase II (early 1970 to mid-80), phase III (mid-1980 to 2000), and phase IV (2000 onwards). The main intention to start all these policies was to provide houses for the poor and proper infrastructures such as roads, drainage, water supply, and electricity. The data on compliance or noncompliance of the work done by various governments have also been created.   The current government under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana 2015 continued the housing development policy throughout the country on an aggressive basis. On the basis of PMAY Component 3, I have started the work for an economically backward society in Solapur and developed a proposal to provide affordable housing in the area of Khateeb Nagar, Akkalkot Road, Solapur, so that the people of lower income groups can afford to buy houses.
