Providing adequate numbers of affordable houses for the urban poor remains an elusive target. Policies framed in the past have failed to deliver. About 96 percent of the 18.78 million housing units shortage pertains to lower income groups. Hence, when the Minis-try of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation recently published its task force report on promoting affordable housing, it raised a familiar question: whether the new recommendations would succeed where previous policies failed. Would it bring elusive homes within the reach of the urban poor? The answer is not a convincing yes. The report has many useful suggestions on the financial aspects, but it inadequately addresses supply issues. It rightly points out that many existing schemes have barriers that prevent the poor from benefiting. For instance, the Affordable_ Housing in Partnership Scheme, launched four years ago to produce one million houses, has so far delivered only 5776. Though the scheme provides a subsidy of Rs. 50, 000 per dwelling unit, the government spends only Rs. 26, 000. This is due to an unreasonable condition ? that the subsidy no: exceeds 25 per cent of the amount spent on providing services such as water supply. The task force wants the government to fine tune the scheme and increase the subsidy to Rs. 100,000. |

Arrange PQRS to give the correct sequence of the following process. |
P: Set some time aside each day to work on your project. Forward progress is what counts and it provides the positive feedback to keep you going. Continue on down your list and celebrate your milestones. Don't be afraid of midcourse corrections if necessary. If you stay away from working on a project for too long of a time, it gets harder and harder to get back to it. |
Q: Have a picture in your mind and a vision of what the product will look like and the feelings you will have when it is complete. Break the project into manageable tasks. It's easy to get overwhelmed if you are starting from scratch. This will help you avoid procrastination, and give you positive feedback at the end of each step. The size of the tasks will depend on your working style and the size of the available time slots. |
R: Deadlines are important, even if you have to modify them as the project progresses. Goals are dreams with deadlines. If you don't have a deadline to get your product to market, you are just daydreaming. Get started. One of my favourite quotes is from Goethe - 'Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it; bold-ness has genius, power and magic in it. |
S: Determine the scope of the project. The first and foremost step is to form the determination what you want to accomplish. What are the limits within which you will develop your product? There are two things which must be taken care of: Who is your audience and what would you like them to do after they view or listen to this program? Answers to these two questions will go a long way to defining the scope and structure of your product. |
