Vocational visit three for Tracey and myself was to the Karnataka Housing Board which i know was a lot more interesting for me than Tracey. We met with the board in their board room and were given a PowerPoint presentation on their role within the city. But when asked about the Slum,s they immediately referred us to the Slum Clearance and Development Board - which i found interesting. We then drove to one of their many developments on the outskirts of the city, taking in a little lunch on the way. They are building somewhere in the region of 2500 houses on the site for the LIG (Low income Groups) MIG (Middle Income Groups) and the HIG (High Income groups) and i have to say that i could easily live in the HIG but certainly not in the other two. A long day especially for Tracey, but it made me twice as determined to see the slum projects.
