Odisha State Housing Board

In this article, we will come across several projects undertaken under OSHB and how these accommodations are changing the living standards of the state residents.

About Odisha State Housing Board

The Odisha State Housing Board was established in 1968 by the government of Odisha, after passing an Act of state legislature that contained a demand for providing affordable housing to overcome the acute housing shortage in the state. The features of this project were –

  • To provide lands in prime locations and are free from any litigations.
  • To offer all allottees an affordable payment structure with easy instalments.
  • To provide all candidates, a socio-cultural housing colony.
  • To add well-planned infrastructure facilities like road, drain, community hall, parking place, for a better living standard.

Meeting the growing demands of housing due to urbanization, rapid population growth, and poverty, OSHB is associated with govt in the H&UD department to fulfil the mission of providing house to everyone and make the state slum-free. OSHB aims to provide a home, where everyone can breathe freely. Besides these, OSHB aims to build spaces to facilitate the commercial growth, help in the process of rapid urbanization, and maintain environmental balance by promoting Green House Concept.
