ABSTRACT
Housing is one of the fundamental needs of any living beings. Whether rich or poor, all of
us need a place to live. But if we look at the cost of purchasing a house across the country
and metros in particular, its well beyond the affordable limit of the majority cannot afford a
place of their own house because of the skyrocketing property prices, low-cost housing
assumes crucial importance. Moreover, the government of India has a vision “Housing for
all by the year 2010”. Cost effective does not mean low quality and low durability meant
only for low-income or poor sections.
Low-cost housing refers to affordable housing solutions designed to meet the housing needs
of people with limited financial resources. These housing options are typically characterized
by their affordability, simplicity in design, and cost-effective construction methods. The
goal of low-cost housing is to provide safe, decent, and affordable homes for individuals
and families who may otherwise struggle to find suitable housing. Low-cost housing has
several important applications and benefits, including Affordable Housing for Low-Income
Individuals and Families, Urbanization and Slum Redevelopment, Disaster Relief and
Recovery, Social Housing, Economic Development, Housing for Aging Populations.
Keywords: Affordable, Cost effective, Simplicity in design, Safe, Sustainable, Economic

development.

Title of TS-1
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Low Cost Housing is a novel idea that emphasizes wise financial planning and the use of
methods that lower construction costs by utilizing locally accessible materials and advancing
technology and skills without compromising the strength, functionally, and longevity of the
project. There is a widespread misperception that affordable housing is only appropriate for low
quality labour and that it is built using low quality, inexpensive building materials. The reality
is that affordable housing is made possible by wise resource management. Economy can also
be attained by delaying or implementing completing activities in stages. Utilizing organic
materials such as straw, bamboo, fibers (jute, coir), earth, etc. has been done for ages. In
addition to being readily available locally, these materials are also simple to work with and
quick to create, which lowers expenses. Additionally, qualities of industrial wastes like fly
ash and rice husk make them good replacement materials. This essay seeks to compile research
on various items while taking into account their accessibility.
