The development of the rural area relies on its infrastructure facilities like rural roads, housing, irrigation, water supply, electrification and telecommunication connectivity etc. The proper infrastructure development leads to improve rural economy and quality of life of people. Hence, rural development is one of the important tasks of development planning in India. Among all infrastructure facilities, housing is one of the basic requirements for human survival.
