Once again a horrific crime in Badayun brought shame to the country. It was reported that the girls' family is landless and they went out for nature's call.
Many politicians are going to that village. Lots of money is being spent on these visits. Can't we think of using the money for creating permanent dwellings and toilets for the poor people in villages?
What is the cost involved?
Let us assume we provide about 600 sqft to one family. The cost of construction is about Rs 800 per sqft. So the cost will be Rs 5 lakh approximately. If the family is of five people, cost is Rs 1 lakh per person.
If there are 25 crore people who need to be provided housing the total budget required is Rs 25 lakh crores.
If we make a five year plan we need Rs 5 lakh crores every year. Can we provide this sum?
