All about Himachal Pradesh’s Housing and Urban Development Authority (HIMUDA)

[ecis2016.org] The HIMUDA is responsible for planned development of housing colonies in Himachal Pradesh

With an aim to cater to the housing needs of residents in the state, the Himachal Pradesh Housing Board was established in 1972. However, this entity was re-christened as the Himachal Pradesh Housing and Urban Development Authority (HIMUDA) in 2004. The agency was constituted under the Himachal Pradesh Housing and Urban Development Authority Act, 2004. The objective, was to create a development authority that would ‘plan and develop land and create infrastructure to meet with the housing needs of different income groups and to provide for development schemes for mobilising public and private resources for the promotion of housing colonies and related infrastructure’. Hence, the agency is also responsible for planned development of housing colonies.
