NITI Aayog released a report on “S.A.F.E. Accommodation - Worker Housing for manufacturing growth”. This comprehensive report explores the crucial role of secure, affordable, flexible, and efficient (S.A.F.E.) accommodations for industrial workers in boosting India’s manufacturing sector.

SAFE Accommodation is a concept aimed at providing housing facilities for employees close to their workplace, typically near industrial or factory sites.

This report explores four primary models for the development of SAFE Accommodation on a large scale: Government Owned and operated, government owned but privately operated, public-private partnership (PPP), and privately owned and operated.

Niti Aayog: Our recommendation is to launch a SAFE Accommodation Scheme that provides viability gap funding for SAFE projects from the centre, available to states conditional on regulatory reforms.
