The programme aims to provide a pucca house with basic amenities to all houseless households and those living in kutcha or dilapidated homes in rural India, addressing housing shortages and supporting the mission of “Housing for All.” Each house has a minimum area of 25 sq m, including space for hygienic cooking.
