Following up on its election promise of a slum-free state, the Democratic Front government is sketch up a plan to provide houses to 32 lakh families, including 10 lakhs currently living in slums.Most of these slum dwellers were in Mumbai. The residual 22 lakh families have no houses. They will have the choice of going in for affordable housing or a 20m x 20m plot for community housing.
With this, the government hopes to increase these 32 lakh families above the poverty line. Currently, as a lot of 70 lakh families in the state are below the poverty line.
The grand housing plan is part of the state government's 'vision document' to fulfill the various promises the Congress-NCP alliance had made during the elections last October.
The official said it has not yet been decided if chief minister Ashok Chavan will go through the department-wise presentation before the document is taken up for talk in the cabinet.
