Dear 
	

	As you are aware, the Vision of the Government of India is to eradicate houselessness by 2016-17. 
	To achieve this goal a Vision Plan has been drawn up for the Rural Housing Sector (copy enclosed).  
	The strategy and action points are also indicated as part of the Vision Plan.  
	Successful implementation of the strategy as well as achievement of the various goals listed in the 
	Vision Plan depends upon the active cooperation of the State Government / implementing agencies. 
	In this regards, all the States are kindly requested to prepare Action Plans for achieving various 
	goals of the Vision Plan and particularly the goal of replacing of all kutcha houses in rural areas
	by 2016-17. You may prepare the Action Plan within a month of receipt of this communication and 
	keeping in view the strategy as well as action points enumerated in the enclosed Vision Plan.

	I shall be grateful if urgent action is taken and document prepared is furnished to the Ministry. 
	
     with regards, 				
                                                                        Yours sincerely,
