NagarlokSummary: A house is essentially an expression of people’s way of life and culture. It is a symbol of pride, an identity of one’s social affiliation to different groups and communities. It is expected that a good - quality housing shall be responsive to a wide variety of human needs. Hence, the need of a house ought to be seen through the prism of both quantitative as well as qualitative attributes by the policymakers and providers of houses. Although literature on housing in India, nay of different countries is replete with different aspects of affordable housing, such as affordability of house, area, volume, amenities, location, household income, policy aspects of housing, etc. there has been no study so far to assess the Quality Standards for LIG Housing Projects in India or elsewhere. This study therefore seeks to identify the set of Housing Quality Indicators (HQIs) for quality assessment of LIG housing in India. It is expected that such an identification of HQIs would help assess housing quality either through a participatory process (comparing end users’ expectation and perception about the quality of housing) or by any independent organisation. – Reproduced
