On-going population growth and increasing urbanization are creating major development problems in relation to provision of urban services and planned housing in large cities of the state. While urban population is increasing rapidly, supply of serviced land and housing units is restricted. State government decided to meet the two-third requirement of total estimated demand of 16 lac units during the Tenth Five Year Plan and formulated a strategy to provide 10.50 lac units with the participation of Private and Cooperative Sectors.
