Till the early twentieth century, housing was considered as a place to live in ignoring all other dimensions it plays in human life and socio-economic development of a nation. A house besides providing a living space also improves the physical quality of life in terms of cultural and personality development. Despite great advancements in science and technology, millions in our motherland face severe housing problems. In urban areas of developing countries, people face acute shortage of proper housing accommodation. Due to availability of better employment opportunities in urban areas, many people from rural areas migrate to cities leading to overcrowding thus increasing pressure on the limited housing as well as health and sanitary facilities. This results into the deteoration in quality of life in urban areas. In rural areas, the housing conditions are far from satisfactory, which have adverse effect on socio-economic progress of our nation. NCR being the heart of our country shows that housing conditions in Delhi are slightly better than NCR. But overall housing conditions in NCR are better than rest of India. More efforts are needed to improve housing conditions particularly in rural areas of NCR. So that in-migration to Delhi can be slowed down.
