*    constructed within 24 hours , using recycled construction debris

Like all the readers , I too was a disbeliever till I read :






 






Here is why this technology should be of great interest to Shri Hardeep Singh Puriji ( Housing and Urban Affair Minister ) :



*     Govt is committed to “ Housing for All by 2022 “ ( - some 55 lakh houses ? )

*     Even those so-called “ Affordable Houses “ being constructed currently , cost  Rs
       5,000 / sq ft

*    Present construction methods are not only too slow but also very time-consuming

*    Lakhs of already constructed flats are lying vacant because poor cannot afford Rs 30
      Lakhs flat

*   In Mumbai alone , some 1,500 tons of construction and demolition debris is
    generated daily and  BMC is facing great difficulty in finding places to dump this.
    Illegal dumping is killing mangroves . 3 D printing will utilize all of this debris !
   


I request Shri Puriji to examine the possibility of re-designing the “ Housing for All “ program along the lines of :
