NK Bhupeshbabu Vision on Providing Affordable Houses

Despite all the challenges faced by an individual to buy his/her own residential place in the city, there are not set parameters that define about when the government initiatives will actually prove to benefit
the common man? Recently Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a highly ambitious project of ‘100 Smart Cities’ in the country by 2022. On the other hand, only promises are being made of providing ‘Housing for all’ across the nation.

However, the compelling requirement to complete the Housing for All initiative should not compromise the standard of living, Hence the government has decided to adopt numerous modern technologies to achieve that, Along with this, Smart Cities Mission came into form. It is clever amalgamation of technology and basic infrastructure, Seamless connectivity, sustainable resources, energy efficiency, and technology integration are the focal points that will be addressed in Smart cities.

To attain the mission of building 5 lakh homes in 5 years, the BMTPC has recommended to use eight advanced technologies in construction that will help build homes faster. Also, special focus will be given to building green and eco-friendly properties, the state government seems to be building bigger infra developments. The latest one to be added in the list is Mumbai – Nagpur Express Highway. It will connect Aurangabad to Mumbai via same route. It is said that the highway will save 65km of distance between the two cities. The express highway is expected to share the major direct road traffic between Mumbai and Nagpur, including almost 30%-40% of traffic from NH6.

However, engrossed in elevation our standard of living, we tent to ignore matters that are equally crucial. Like the state of skilled labors in or country. For over one and half decade, there has been considerable shortage of skilled labors, RCC fitters, masons, plumbers, carpenters and technicians who carry out sanitary works and other construction related tasks, This section of workers is paid below minimum wages and still not appreciated enough.

We believe that we need to start degree or diploma courses that will provide these talented technicians job security. Also, it will encourage the unemployed youth of the country to pursue the skilled required to do these jobs.

Realizing the problems currently being faced and the potential rise of more in the future, we need to cater to the needs of the buyers in every possible way. We, at Squareoot believe that a medium to channelize every requirement of buyers to prospective developers is the need of the hour. We strived hard to be one of those encouraging mediator the public and benefit them in any way possible.

With warm regards
NK Bhupesh Babu
