Housing for workers

It is usually seen that to supplement the local manpower, companies also recruit a large number of workers from other locations, and arranging for the housing requirements for such workers becomes a major challenge. Ideally, the housing facilities for such workers should be available in the vicinity of the workplace to minimize costs and bring efficiencies. Accordingly, Government will ensure that in all the proposed Textile / Apparel parks, enough land is made available for housing purposes. Further, to facilitate the companies to take up construction of housing / dormitories by themselves for their workers, a rebate on 60% of the land cost and land conversion charges (upper limit being Rs. 30 lakhs per acre for land cost and conversion charges) will be provided.
