A housing colony acts as an agent of
change more particularly in a sociological sense. Unlike old towns and
villages, the clusters of houses are no more on caste basis. Rather, different categories
of houses are designed on the basis of income levels irrespective of their
caste and creed. As such, a housing colony is in a way, a small realization of
the dream of free
The housing colonies constructed by
the board generally have a few hundred houses of different categories and
properly planned with provision of metalled roads, street lighting, water and
sewerage services, storm water drains, open spaces, parks, shopping booths and
provision for school etc. Such a colony improves the outlook of an average
Haryana town which has normally experienced an unplanned growth and has been
lacking in public amenities. This way, a housing colony works as an agent of
change as regards the habits and life styles of people.
The work of
construction of houses of different categories at various stations in Haryana
is in progress.
