Ensuring Shelter for All: Analyzing India's Legal Framework and Policies on Housing for All

    India's rapid urbanization and growing socio-economic inequality have resulted in a severe housing shortage. This study investigates India's legal and policy frameworks concerning housing, focusing on the 'Housing for All' initiative. It examines key legal developments, significant court rulings, and policies like the National Housing & Habitat Policy and the Land Acquisition Act, of 2013. The research highlights the challenges of implementing housing initiatives at municipal, state, and federal levels and evaluates their effectiveness in providing housing to underserved populations. The study underscores the importance of a robust and inclusive legal framework to achieve housing for all, suggesting that access to adequate and affordable housing is crucial for addressing India's housing crisis and ensuring social equity.
