ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The government of Kerala announced a new housing mission in 2016 called “LIFE”, i.e. Livelihood Inclusion and Financial Empowerment, in accordance with the national policy of Housing for All 2022. As a preliminary step to the scheme, all incomplete houses started under previous housing schemes had to be completed. This provided an opportunity for a detailed study of the incomplete houses. Studying the reasons for these houses not being completed can prevent such failures in the upcoming housing schemes. A survey and assessment of these incomplete houses was conducted in Vellanad block panchayat in the Thiruvananthapuram District. The paper outlines the study and the reasons for the noncompletion of houses under various rural housing schemes in Vellanad block panchayat.
