A Brief Analysis of the Gujarat Housing Board

Before the establishment of the GHB, the development and welfare programs of the State of Gujarat were managed by the neighbouring commission of the Bombay Housing Board, which is under the State of Maharashtra. However, the year 1960 saw the split of the province of Bombay and as a result, the Gujarat Housing Board was established as an independent governing body to look after the needs and means of the people of Gujarat.

Since then, the Gujarat Housing Board has engaged in various developmental programs concerned with the welfare of the state. Moreover, it has participated and implemented several construction projects for both residential and commercial setups. Residential up-gradation was brought about for the people living in the slums and under unhygienic conditions, whereas the commercial sector boomed with investors and foreign marketers after the establishment of multi-storeyed structures as offices and shops.

Being recognized as one of the most developed and vibrant states of the recent era, the Gujarat Housing Board Ahmedabad has joined hands with the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) Scheme for developing housing facilities and infrastructural amenities for the people belonging to the economically weaker sections, LIG and MIG category. The main office of the Board is said to be located in Ahmedabad where you can visit and approach for the beneficiary scheme. However, you can also contact the Board through the online portal, that is, at their official website at gujarathousingboard.org.
