Housing schemes for slum dwellers fail to draw occupants in Faridabad

Live Mint
It also exposes the lack of planning and poor management of welfare projects that aim to improve the living conditions of the 75.2 million urban poor in India.

Huda’s Ashiana housing scheme, in which Mandal was allotted a unit, is a case in point. More than 19 months after the project was completed, the 3,080 units have failed to attract even a single occupant.


Experts suggest that the government will be better served if it develops the slums, instead of pursuing expensive housing projects that make little economic sense for the urban poor, who earn less than Rs. 200 a day and have to support large families.

Siddhartha Kaul, a resident of Faridabad becomes global president of SOS Children's Villages International

Siddhartha Kaul, a resident of Faridabad became global president of SOS Children's Villages International.

Till recently Siddhrtha Kaul was the continental head of SOS Children's Villages International. His father Padma Shree Jagan Nath Kaul founded SOS Children's Villages in India. Indira Gandhi inaugurated the first SOS Children's Village in Greenfields in Faridabad. Today this organisation is providing family-based care to orphaned and abandoned children  in almost every part of the country. The most recent SOS Children's Village came up in Tirupati.

His predecessor and mentor, Helmut Kutin described the Indian born President as “an organiser, a realistic thinker in matters of economics and someone who appreciates the value of diversity”. This was evident when Mr Kaul supervised the highly successful SOS Emergency Relief and Reconstruction Programme that followed Asia’s tsunami in 2004. Helmut Kutin is a frequent to this city and always stays at SOS Enclave in Sector 29.

Siddhartha Kaul takes inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi who said: “The future depends on what you do today”.

After studying architecture and liberal arts, Siddhartha Kaul was persuaded to become the director of an SOS Children’s Village.

“He respects all religions and has a great understanding of people,” says former President Kutin. He recognised and nurtured the talent that led Mr Kaul to the most senior positions within SOS Children’s Villages elsewhere in India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Cambodia. Until his election as president, he also held the posts of Continental Director for Asia and Deputy Secretary General.

SOS Children’s Villages President Siddhartha Kaul has today confirmed that he recognises the complexity of issues facing at-risk children and families. “Regardless of whether they are in Sri Lanka, Serbia or Spain, every child who becomes a successful young person brings us closer to our mission. We work directly with every individual child; this is the uniqueness of our organisation” he said.
