Or a “ Mirage in Maharashtra “ ?
It is difficult to decide going by following (
unbelievable ) news report :
State
to build 8.82 LAKH houses for homeless in 100 days (
Hindustan Times / 22 Nov )
Extract :
The Maharashtra government on Friday launched an ambitious scheme of building more than 8.82 lakh houses for the homeless people residing in rural parts of the state and has set a target of constructing these homes within 100 days by February 28, 2021.
The homes will
be built by amalgamating many schemes being run by the state and the Centre.
Named Maha Awas Yojana, the ₹4,000-crore scheme was launched by chief minister
(CM) Uddhav Thackeray on Friday. He also directed the concerned officials to
ensure that the homes are of good quality.
“All the officials must ensure that the houses should be pucca and
of good quality. They should be so ideal and beautiful that people from other
states would come to see them,” the CM said while launching the scheme.
He said that the government has made several changes in Maha Awas
Yojana to ensure it is a complete
package. “We will not only give grants to people for building houses, but
will also see that they get land and have basic amenities such as toilets by
ensuring loans from banks,” Thackeray said.
Rural development minister Hasan Mushrif said,

“We
have set a target to build 882,135 houses by February 28 with an expenditure of
₹4,000 crore. We will be providing land to those who don’t have any and will
also regularise illegal encroachment on government plots under the scheme. We
want to ensure that not a single family is left homeless in rural parts of
Maharashtra.”
===================================================
Summarizing :
Ø That
is building 8,820 “ houses “ EVERY SINGLE DAY for 100 days ( from today till 28
Feb 2021 )
Ø Cost
of each house = Rs 4.53 lakh ( Rs 4000 crore for 8.82 lakh houses )
Ø No
mention of “ Cost per Sq ft “
Ø Apparently
, it is “ people “ who will build houses, govt will only provide “ grants “
===================================================
I have no idea what that “ Complete Package “ consists of , nor
could I find any details online
However, some 5 YEARS back , I did send following e mail proposal to
the then Minister for Housing ( Maharashtra ) ,

These factories will mostly use desert sand as its main construction material ,
which was found ideal for 3D printing of houses !
# In next 3 years , WinSun will set up ( in JV with local parties ) , similar

Instant isolation rooms: Chinese firm prints quarantine pods for hospitals struggling with virus
Shanghai-based 3D printing company WinSun is marketing printed, while-you-wait isolation pods for people diagnosed with Covid-19.
Each 10-sq-m “isolation house” can be printed in two hours.

As someone has said :
" It is OK to build castles in the air , as long as you know how to put foundation
underneath , later on "
Even if you are dreaming of building 5 lakh castles !
