The National Housing Policy framed by the then government in May 1988, outlined one of the strategies for meeting housing shortages as, “giving impetus to cooperatives and group housing societies as well as institutionalizing participation of non-governmental organizations.” Calling for greater involvement, the policy says that, “housing agencies and area development authorities in the public sector will therefore be oriented to act more as promoters and facilitators of housing activity rather than as builders of housing units”.
These agencies are to perform functions like development and supply of serviced land and distribution of building materials and components at reasonable rates. Earlier the Third Five Year Plan, realizing the need for the housing policies in the context of the problems that are likely to emerge over the next decades, pointed out that, “it is necessary to coordinate, more closely, the efforts of all the agencies concerned whether public or private”. Further, “conditions have to created in which the entire programme of housing construction, both public and private must be so oriented that it serves the requirement of the low income groups in the community”. To speed up the developments in Real Estate Kerala (http://www.abadbuilders.com/) government allotted more funds and greater freedom to the prominent non-governmental organizations. Much progress has been achieved due to greater public participation.
Hence it is imperative to have the joint participation of public and private agencies in housing and urban development. The professional, entrepreneurial and final resources of the private sector are absolutely necessary to supplement the efforts put in by the public sector in urban development. For this purpose, it is necessary to identify private developers of repute and allow them to undertake urban development projects with adequate safeguard against excessive profiteering. At least 1.5 to 2 million housing units would have to be constructed annually in order to improve the housing situation in the state.
