Raichur District Human Development Report 2014
Of these, 314 were living in rural
areas and 107 in urban areas.
However, compared to the state, the
proportion of houseless households
was lesser. Thus, Raichur being a
predominantly rural district, the
problem is severe in the rural areas.
Central and state governments have
A typical Kaccha House taken measures to provide houses
or support house construction, so
that people can live in good houses.
Based on a systematic identification
of these households, there is a need
to provide houses or facilities for
construction of houses to these
households.
7.3. Site-less Households
The first requirement for
construction of a house is a
residential site. Owing to shortage
of suitable land, and sometimes, the
cost of residential site many

numbers of migrant communities,
especially in urban areas, who do
not reside at a fixed place. It is one
of the factors for such people being
deprived of government schemes

to construct houses to houseless
households. As far as information
on site-less households and

concerned, the data is not reliable
and adequate. Because of this,

of genuine beneficiaries for
provision of house sites.

Corporation and the district
administration together implement
the schemes relating to house and
site allotment. The data provided by
these agencies is given in Figure
7.1.
For the district as a whole, 11 per
cent percent of households are
reported to be site-less. This is a
huge proportion and when applied
to the 2011 census data, the
number works out to 41,625
households. Across the taluks,
Manvi reports the highest
proportion of households (17 per
cent) without sites, followed by
Sindhnur and Devadurga (14 and
13 per cent, respectively). The figure
also depicts the percentage
households provided with house
sites by the Government. At the
district level, hardly 2 per cent of
the households have been provided
with house sites as at the end of
