Development of housing is not just important to economic growth but is also one of the tools for economic development considering the accelerator impact it has on various industries including construction and infrastructure sector; it generates demand for supporting industries and leads to creation of job opportunities.

Based on scientific utilization of India's natural resources Rural Development has been given the highest priority for the betterment of the living conditions of the rural areas. With this aim in view, several efforts were made at rural development for the betterment of the socioeconomic condition of villagers from ancient times to the British period. There were experiments in rural development from Shanti Niketan in 1921 to community development in 1952. After independence, many development programs have been executed to tackle the problems of lesser education, poverty, and unemployment in India. Among the development programs implemented during the last two decades; Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) launched in 2001, Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) launched in 1999 and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) are discussed here. All these schemes are aimed to reduce the gap between rural and urban people which would help reduce imbalances and speed up the development process.

By that large Bending Moment & Shear Forces are developed close to the columns. These stresses bring about the cracks in concrete & may provoke the failure of slab, thus there is a need to provide a larger area at the top of column recognized as column head/capital. Flat slab is defined as one sided or two-sided support system with shear load of the slab being concentrated on the supporting columns and a square slab called ‘drop panels’.
