in India. The target of achieving sufficient mass affordable housing in
the country can be achieved using cost effective, emerging innovative

the structure. It is essential to promote these technologies pertaining to

investment in housing is not lost to the occurrence of natural disasters
like earthquake, flood or cyclone. The skills and efficiencies demonstrated
