Using Prefab home and promoting prefab home and manufacturing them in India will be bring down the cost and time of construction. Also rope in present prefab (ready made) home manufacturers like ikea and many other companies. These Homes can be assembled like furniture and also using E-Commerce can revolutionize housing market also competition will bring house prices down.

A regulatory body similar to SEBI and IRDA should be formed to monitor and regulate the land acquisition for residential projects, builders, standardising builder buyer agreements, enforcing fair valuation and development of residential land. There is also a need for Housing Ombudsman to ensure quick settlement of rows over residential property.

Government should make sure that there is highrise building on every huge group of huts. And the people who gets house should be linked from the government by AADHAR number. It should be compulsary to live there or if they want to change the house, they have to withdraw the house. They should not be able to sell it or give it on rent. The housing should be completely under government's control for next some years. Private companies can build these houses on CSR bases, or on PPP bases.

i as civil engineer think we should think of urban development in 2 directions service level agreement of civil structures. and self sufficient building. in first view we should decide service period of building or structure with appropriate maintenance and it should serve for that period which is prime responsibility of creator of these structure and he should be held responsible for it. in my second view i think we have to creat self sufficient buildings generating bio gas ,solar and reusing

There should be more co-ordination between state Governments and the Central Government. Minimum income should be taken as criteria for the Government to build houses for the deserving people. a National regulatory body should be established to monitor the housing work with overall supervision throughout the country and mal-functionaries should be punished stringently. More transparency should be there for implementing this scheme. youth can be taken help of from NGOs and social service orgzs.

It is a very good social policy which aims at providing basic living space for all. We need to identify the right beneficiary or else it will be as ordinary policy of previous government. The development in India has not been distributed equally because of failure in implementation, so need to take extra care while selecting beneficiaries.

इसमे देश के निर्माण अभियंताओ/वास्तुविदो /शहर योजनाकारो के योगदान के बाद संभव है जब तक शहरी क्षेत्रो मे बेतरतीब फैलाव पर अंकुश नही लगेगा यह संभव नही है । किसी भी शहर के वर्तमान विकास प्रारुप का सुक्ष्म अवलोकन तथा उस शहर के पालिक निगम एवं शहर के भीतर व्यावसायिक तौर पर कार्य करने वाले अनुभवी नगर योजनाकारो के मध्य सामंजस्य स्थापित कर कार्ययोजना तैयार करने पर ही कुछ हद तक सफलता हासिल हो सकता है। क्योकि प्रत्येक शहर का अपना एक चरित्र होता है जिसे बाहर से समझते हुये सोचना समय एवं पैसे का अपव्यय होगा।
