Jammu and Kashmir: A Paradise on Earth and the other side of the Story!

Housing is one of the basic needs of every human being. It not only provides a shelter to a person and family but also acts as social and psychological force for their well beingness. To measure how good a society is and how developed a nation is many indices are in practise. Almost all of these indices have the component of livable home as one of the parameter. So, to know how well is the condition of citizens of a state or nation is, one can draw an inference from no. of homeless people and types of shelters in that state/nation. In the present paper, we have studied the problem of homelessness and its extent during the census years 2001 and 2011 with special reference to J and K state.
