According to the National Land Reforms Policy, more than 31% of households in the country are landless. Almost 30% own less than 0.4 hectares, meaning 60% of the population owns only 5% of the country’s land. The National Right to Homestead Bill of 2013 aims to ensure that every shelterless poor family has a right to hold homestead of not less than 10 cents within a period of 10 years commencing from the date of notification. Government employees, landowners, income tax payers are all exempt

Provided that the homestead planning has been done carefully to avoid isolation of the families, a ghetto-like perception of those availing homestead facility and accessibility to basic essential services are taken care of
@8PLLV743yrs3Y
no, but housing projects have to be taken up by the government to provide housing for poor
@8KJQRCTBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
No, instead take specific measures to allow shelterless families to be able to afford their own shelters. Defining it as a right by itself won't help their situation.
@962KL2Y1yr1Y
No, build enough homes over the next 40 years to house India
Give everyone home for free
@SCWW633yrs3Y
Government funds should not be used for charity. Every citizen should earn property by working honestly and housing should be freed fron the clutches of investors and speculators.

Yes, the provision of homes to poor is important. But education must also go hand in hand.
