A BREAKTHROUGH IN HOUSING FOR ALL

A   Housing   Miracle  ?

-----------------------------

It would be, if it is :

*     a house consisting of Bed Room + Living Room + Kitchen + Bathroom + Porch

*    having an area of 650 sq ft

*    costs Rs 2.6 lakh ( @ Rs 400 / sq ft )

*    constructed within 24 hours , using recycled construction debris
