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

no, but housing projects have to be taken up by the government to provide housing for poor
@8KJQRCT4yrs4Y

@962KL2Y2yrs2Y
No, build enough homes over the next 40 years to house India
