WEAKER SECTION (L.I.G, E.W.S, M.I.

G) -GROUP HOUSING
PROJECT

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION: - Group housing for weaker sections in India has been
introduced to provide affordable housing for the economically weaker sections (EWS)
and the Lower Income Groups (LIG). The Government of India has taken several
initiatives to provide housing for the weaker sections of society in India, such as the
Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and the Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY).

Under PMAY, the government has introduced the Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS)
which provides subsidies to EWS and LIG households to purchase, construct, or upgrade
their housing units. The subsidy is provided in the form of a reduced interest rate on
housing loans. The government has also initiated the Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) which is
a comprehensive housing programme for the urban poor. Under RAY, the government
provides financial assistance to states and local bodies for the construction of housing
units for EWS and LIG households.

In addition, various state governments have also introduced their own schemes to provide
housing for the weaker sections. For example, the Uttar Pradesh government has recently
launched the 'Uttar Pradesh Affordable Housing Scheme' which provides affordable
housing to the EWS, LIG, and other vulnerable sections of society.

1.2 PROJECT DISCRIPTION: - This project is to be proposed in DADRI, which is

close to my hometown, in an industrial area where logistics is also growing. As a result,
there is a demand for group housing for the workers who are employed there. Because in
that area there is a shortage of accommodation for the employs with less wages.In a
developing country like India, housing demand peaks at 96% for the lower-income group
and economically weaker sections.

This project is a part of big township proposed by M/S UTTAM STEEL AND ASSO. of
1660 acre.

1.3 Intent of choosing the topic:- The intent of this thesis is to explore the benefits of
providing group housing for the weaker sections in India, specifically the LIG (Low
Income Group) and EWS (Economically Weaker Section) population. This thesis will
examine the socio-economic and environmental impacts of providing housing for these
sections of society and the challenges it may pose. In addition, the thesis will explore the
potential of public-private partnerships in providing group housing for the LIG and EWS
population and the role of the government in this process. The findings from this thesis
will be used to inform future policymaking and initiatives related to group housing for the
weaker sections in India.
1.4 Validity of the project :-

1.5 Aim & Objective

1.5.1Aim:-The aim of this thesis is to explore the potential for designing group housing
for the weaker sections of society, such as those living below the poverty line (LIG) and
those living in extreme poverty (EWS). It will assess the feasibility of such housing in
terms of cost, practicality, and sustainability. It will also assess the social and economic
impact of such housing on the local community, as well as its potential to alleviate
poverty.

1.5.2OBJECTIVE:-

To study how to design affordable housing for LIG, MIG and EWS groups with proper
facilities in industrial and logistic area.

Provide housing opportunities and incentives for low and moderate income families.

Group housing projects provide a safe and secure living environment for people from
these vulnerable communities, as well as access to basic amenities and services.

It is to provide housing for those who cannot afford to purchase or rent a home on their
own.

1.5.3NEED:-

Due to the expansion of industry and logistics in that region, there is a high demand of
housing for employees from lower income groups, economically weaker sections, and
middle income groups.

Provision of comfortable shelter

It would keep employee fit and cheerful for all the days in the year.

As per Govt. policy there is mandatory now to provide 10% LIG and 10% EWS in every
planned schemes which have area more than 3000sqm.

1.6 Scope and limitation:-

1.6.1 Scope:-Understanding the needs of low-income and economically weaker sections

of society, and assessing the current housing situation.

Designing an efficient and safe layout plan for the group housing that meets the needs of
the weaker sections.

Ensuring that the layout plan is optimally utilized to provide the maximum amount of
usable space within the housing.

Selecting appropriate materials and finishes for the interior and exterior of the housing.
1.6.2 Limitation: - Limited access to capital: The most significant limitation of
designing group housing for weaker sections is the limited access to capital. This is
because many of these people come from financially weak backgrounds and may not
afford to purchase land or build housing for themselves.

1.7 Methodology:-

 Finalization of the topic

 Literature review
 Case studies
 Analysis of the data collected
 Design brief
 Site analysis
 Design concept
 Planning
 Final design with renders.
