v1.c55.9

Any housing scheme on a large scale is a great burden on the State Exchequer. How to raise the money in crores for a handful of houses on the modern models? This problem can be solved if coordinated and cooperative efforts are made in which the State gives subsidy and the individuals and cooperative-societies also contribute their mite with a zeal and enthusiasm worthy of a great nation to build houses, establish new townships, rejuvenate the vill ges, reorientate the living and revolutionise the character of the country. This is the essence of a planning, be it a house-planning, town-planning or any other planning—the individual, the society and the State, all contributing their shares.
