The Kosad Awas Yojna program serves as an illustration of how affordable housing can be given with creative and viable alternatives. The initiative helped the area's economy and social growth while providing reliable and secure dwellings for the urban poor. The program has, however, also encountered several difficulties that have been overcome by community mobilization and the provision of assistance services. The project emphasizes the value of community involvement in the conception and execution of projects involving affordable housing.

3.7.3 BHAVANI NAGAR AWAS YOJNA, VASNA

In the Vasna neighborhood of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, there is a low-income housing development called Bhavani Nagar Awas Yojna. The initiative was started with the intention of giving the economically weaker segments of society access to safe and cost-effective homes. However, it has encountered a number of problems and difficulties, just like many other low-income housing schemes in India. These problems vary from poor facilities and infrastructure to ineffective government operations and corruption. This case study intends to thoroughly examine the Bhavani Nagar Awas Yojna project and examine the difficulties that its residents confront. The socioeconomic circumstances of the population, the standard of housing, the accessibility to social services like medical care and schooling, and the provision of basic facilities like water and sanitation will all be investigated in the study.

The following are the issues and challenges faced by the Vasna housing inhabitants;

• A dearth of open spaces for outdoor recreation and a shortage of available land.

• Poorly maintained roadways, water supplies, sewage systems, and waste management services.

• Insufficient availability of cheap and accessible transportation options.

• There are very few work prospects in the close vicinity.

• Materials used in the building process are of poor quality, and building norms are inadequate.

• Poor precautions and preparation for disasters.

• Limited availability of loans and money for home upgrades and repairs.

• Exclusion of minority groups and social inequality in housing programmes and practises.

• Insecure tenure and informal settlements' lack of legal legitimacy.

• Inadequate availability of ecologically friendly and energy-efficient home options.

The project has encountered many obstacles and difficulties. The absence of transportation and employment options, combined with a dearth of basic amenities like landscaped areas, safe drinking water, and efficient garbage disposal have made life challenging for the inhabitants of the EWS inhabitants. Additionally, the residents' problems have been made worse by the subpar building materials, insufficient disaster preparedness, and limited access to loans for home improvements and repairs.
