'[Statement of Objects and Reasons
Next to food and clothing, housing is the hasic necessity of mankind. The
housing problem has become serious on account of the phenomenal increase in
population. Rapid industrialisation has led to the congestions in urban areas. The
concentration of almost all industries in urban areas and the comparative high
wages paid to the factory workers coupled with the lack of sufficient opportuni
ties in the rural areas have resulted in a large scale shift of population from vil
lages. With the object of easing the housing problem by constructing more houses
and raise Standards in the types of houses, the State Government have been imple
menting various housing schemer'sponsored by the Government of India. Under
these schemes financial assistance in the shape of loans as well as grants is given
to the employers, local bodies, individuals, and co-operative societies of individuals
and industrial workers. The loan with interest at the rate payable to the Govern
ment of India plus 1/2 per centum as administrative charges is recovered in 15/25
annual equated instalments. Since the formation of the State of Haryana Rs. 1.57
crorc have been so disbursed.
2. To tackle the stupendous problem of housing sufficient funds are required.
The funds, which are being allocated each year in the plan and out of L.I.C. funds
are very meager with the result that the problem continues. To meet the increas
ing demands for houses, Government resources alone are not sufficient. To'supple-
ment Government resources It was, therefore, imperative to mobilise additional
resources oy raising loans and debentures for housing schemes as well as to
secure loans out of Central Revolving Fund, which is being created by the Gov
ernment of India with Rs. 200 crores.
3. With a view to achieve the aforesaid object the matter was considered in
the conference of ministers for Housing, Urban Development and Town Planing
held at Bangalore from 18th to 20th June, 1969. The consensus of opinion was
