Biometric Verification for LPG Cylinders in Kerala: What You Need to Know

Housing: A Basic Need

A shelter or house is one of the most basic living conditions. Without a shelter on one’s head, one keeps feeling a lack of security, and poverty alleviation becomes next to impossible. In recent times, we have seen improper housing efforts by nomads, the homeless, refugees, and other people without a shelter. The cities and towns are not full of slum dwellings where the housing conditions are poor and the sanitation problems are even worse. The poor housing structure in India has given rise to multiple problems, such as illegal settlements, encroachments, traffic, a lack of space, and title disputes. While these problems are being spurred by population growth, sanitation in these areas is also a major problem.

 Sanitation For A Better Life

 Sanitation refers to basic hygiene, good toilets, clean areas, clean drinking water facilities, and related aspects. Sanitation was a major issue, especially in remote, rural, and poor areas, until some years ago. These areas have seen public defecation, which has also led to an increase in diseases and unhygienic living conditions. The condition right now is an improvised version of the previous one, but there are still miles to go. To improve the health and lifestyle of these areas and people, there was a staunch need for state support in the sanitation facility. With the launch of Swacchh Bharat Abhiyaan, things changed for the better. 

 Need And Measures For Housing And Sanitation

 Housing and sanitation are two areas that should never be compromised. Good sanitation improves health and also improves the cleanliness and living standards of the area. Sanitation is also dealt with by the local governments through the timely cleaning of sewers and drains and the adoption of multiple waste disposal mechanisms. Individual efforts in both of these sectors, i.e., housing and sanitation, seem difficult for those below the poverty line or lower middle-class people. For such areas and people, the government creates multiple funds and schemes to help them live in houses in clean areas.
