STATEMENT
STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO.
701 FOR 16.5.2000 REGARDING HOUSING STATISTICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM.
(a): Yes, Sir.
(b): NBO collects information about housing and building
construction activity in general and not about allotment of
dwelling units to the general public or SC/ST beneficiaries.
As a part of its activities NBO also compiles data on housing
and housing amenities but not exclusively for SC/STs. The
source of these data is the information supplied by various
Govt. organisations, mainly office of the Registrar General
of India (RGI) and National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO).
The information sought for in the desired format is not
available, however, as per the 1991 census figures of the RGI,
0.06% SC amd 0.05% ST households did not occupy an exclusive
room. State-wise break-up is given in the Annexure.
(c): The National Housing and Habitat Policy 1998 lays
special emphasis on the housing needs of vulnerable groups
including SC/STs. One of the aims of the NHHP 1998 is to
provide cost effective housing and shelter options to the
SC/STs and other vulnerable sections. However, since housing
is a State subject, it is primarily the responsibility of the
State Governments to make reservation in allotment of dwelling
units to SC/STs and other vulnerable groups as per the actual
local needs.
