ABSTRACT The scope of the study covers national perspectives on housing for economically weaker sections of the society, defining the problems and efforts that should be made for solving the existing housing technologies. Housing is one of the fundamental needs of any living being. Whether, rich or poor, all of us need a place to live. But if we look at the cost of purchasing a house across the country and metros in particular, it’s well beyond the affordable limit of the majority. In a society where the majority cannot afford a place of their own because of the skyrocketing property prices, low cost housing assumes crucial importance. Moreover, the Government of India has a vision “Housing for all by the year 2010”. Cost effective does not mean low quality and low durability meant only for low-income or poor sections. This paper also deals with the efficiencies of low cost housing and use of new materials and their experimentation on effected areas and also the introduction of paper and cardboard as a building material. This paper is based on reporting review.
