Housing Project
As per the survey conducted the present housing shortage is of the order of 18750 housing units or plots and for additional population of eleven lacs for next twenty years the requirement for housing plots/units will be 37500.In view of huge gap in demand and supply, the price of land has gone terribly high and the residents of the city especially the economically weaker sections, Low income groups and even the Middle Income Groups are unable to purchase the land in the open market. Besides the land purchased in the open market is undeveloped without any basic infrastructure like Roads, Drains, Water Supply, Electric Infrastructure and sanitation. The Supply and demand gap has also lead to encroachments on River and Nallah Banks and other state lands including green belts and water Bodies.
To ease the problem, the SDA has proposed acquisition of 32000 kanals of land in next twenty years at various identified places but such acquisition requires huge resources for which the Government is being approached for financial assistance.
To start with, the SDA has initiated acquisition of 4200 kanals of Rakhs land in Village Rakh-Gund-Aksha which has been transferred by Government to SDA but the land is under the possession of kamas for which the SDA has to pay compensation to kamas. The payment of compensation /improvement charges to kamas has been started and Rs. 190.00 lacs has already been disbursed.Development of Township in Rakh-Gund-Aksha by involving Joint sector have been initiated and the modalities for development of this township on most modern lines are being worked out.
Township at Rakh-Gund-Aksha, the Dream Project of “Model Township” in all respects at Rakh Gund Aksha shall be SDA’s star project. After removing the initial hitches/difficulties, the dream project shall be developed in public private partnership.

Flatted Accommodation (Vertical Housing)
Keeping in tune with the fast-changing urban landscape of Srinagar and mounting stress on its scarce land resources, SDA has embarked upon the ambitious initiative of exploring trans-formative and sustainable solution for affordable housing in the city by pioneering the concept of vertical colonies with integrated community facilities.
What SDA strives to explore in this new initiative is to make people realize the dream of owning a secure, compact and affordable home in Srinagar and facilitate them to relocate with fast-changing housing needs without occupying as much land resources as the traditional houses do.
