The Government of Karnataka has taken several measures to ensure housing benefits to the deserving population both in rural and urban areas. It is implementing a housing scheme with the support of the Government of India and its own independent schemes. It is necessary for the beneficiaries to possess their own residential sites to get the benefit of the scheme. However, the families living in acute condition of poverty, normally, will not be having sites and are generally left out from out from the scheme. This, further worsens the disadvantage and is likely to render them perpetually shelter less.
