Very good initiative. Instead of subsidies, direct investment by the govt would mean less fraud and greater transparency. Also nice to see North East India getting the attention it always deserved from this govt.
UPA always neglected this region and kept it poor and backwards to protect their vote bank.

Good Intitatve

IMO govt should focus on building cheap flats instead of houses. Due to rising population scarcity of land is becoming a problem in urban areas.Residential colonies are eating useful agricultural land everywhere in country.

Flats soon turn in ghettos with people from different sections of society and with different mindset.
Then these people fight over pety issues and everyone has to suffer.
Have seen something similar in my hometown.
Though your point is valid but not good enough. Individual houses ensure more privacy and people dont poke into eachothers matters much.

While I agree your point on privacy, there is simply not enough space left for housing - especially for mass housing schemes in a crowded and agricultural country like India. And then, there are land acquisition issues, made more complicated by our messed up politics. Besides, flats provide a much cheaper alternative which is what you need for housing literally hundreds of millions.

As ugly and prone to ghettoization/violence flats are, they may be our only alternative to house our homeless without sacrificing too much fertile land. I am afraid, people just have to learn to live with each other if they want to live with a semblance of a roof on their heads.
