Delhi Development Authority house: Small chance, big dreams
Neharina Yadav, an architect, makes a living designing fancy houses for the rich. For herself, a small two-room Delhi Development Authority (DDA) flat would do, as it would for any of the lakhs of people who have applied for one.
Her chances of getting a flat will boil down to luck. The odds against her are high.
The DDA has sold a whopping 8.64 lakh forms for the 5,010 one-room, two-room and three-rooms flats up for sale under the recently-launched housing scheme.
Yaday is most likely to be disappointed. She will apply again, whenever DDA announces another scheme. She may eventually get lucky But why must housing in the country's capital be left to chance? Delhi is facing a mounting housing crisis, and DDA is not up to the challenge.
