India hands over 1,600 houses to families


At least 1,600 families in Sharankhola of Bagerhat, who were affected by Cyclone Sidr in 2007, yesterday received new houses built by the Indian government.

Food and Disaster Management Minister Abdur Razzaque and Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Rajeet Mitter handed over the holding numbers to the recipients at Rayenda Primary School in Bagerhat, said Golam Kibria, senior public relations officer of the food ministry.

The floors of the two-room tin houses are brick-built, he said.

Twelve hundred similar houses will be handed over to the Sidr victims in Morelganj shortly, the official added

With nano homes programme, more shelterless and people under BPL will find quality sheltering..We should help BD too with that.

A little bit info ..

It’s a 275 sft house, comfortable for a family of four to live, they say, built using recycled steel, cane and cement fibre boards.

Solar panels are arranged atop of these individual houses so that you don’t have to use a unit of electricity.

Coming to the all important cost; by primary estimates, it looks like it would take nearly $300 to build one of these houses. In Indian currency, that’s not even Rs.15000.

Good going !!!

However would be interested to know whether India financed the project or Built the houses.

I think India financed them.

A very correct move.

It is better to give assistance that directly concern the people.

It prevents all the political bickering that is rife in the India Bangladesh affairs.

Pretty natty looking house and looks quite utilitarian too!
