The government is implementing the Married Accommodation Project (MAP) for providing adequate married accommodation for Defence Services Personnel with a view to mitigate the problems faced by the Armed Forces Personnel. The project is being implemented as a welfare measure with the objective of improving the living conditions of personnel of Army, Air Force and Navy. It envisages the construction of nearly 2,00,000 dwelling units at an estimated cost of Rs 17,358 crores in four phases.
Adhere to Time Lines of Married Accommodation Projects- Antony to officials
Comment: There is undue high pressure for accommodation in the cities where good facility for Schools and Colleges exist. The quantum of separated family quarters need to be raised, so that Officers and Jawans while serving in field area are able to provide their family a secure location for education of their children. Many officers and Jawans wish to serve in Field Areas so that the children's education does not get disturbed. Another pressure area is Delhi where senior officers would like to serve, retire and settle down. One needs to give careful thought so that the married accommodation so created does not go unoccupied, which otherwise becomes an idle and wasteful investment. It is essential to have statistics of Married Accommodation lying vacant and methods found to generate revenue from them.
