The construction and provision of affordable homes to the homeless population of the urban areas has always been a problem in India. The 21st century has finally seen the initiatives being taken by the Government of India to provide such accommodation in all the major parts of the country with various schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. This scheme provides for the construction and sale of affordable readymade apartments for this population and also sets aside a subsidy scheme for the subsequent owners of such affordable flats in Faridabad too along with other parts of the country. At least 28 different large scale builders were involved in the development of residential projects in Faridabad only.
Amongst the different companies involved in such real estate development is the Conscient Infrastructures Pvt. Ltd with its two projects in Sector 78 of Greater Faridabad. This project is called the Conscient Habitat Residences and is being constructed on 5.08 acres of land with a total number of 732 affordable flats in Faridabad in Sector 78 and in configurations of 2 BHK and 3 BHK. The carpet area of these flats in Faridabad is in the range of 594 sq.ft and 724 sq.ft. These flats are distributed amongst the 9 mid rise and high rise towers. There are balconies of around 78 sq.ft with each flat.
Conscient Habitat Residences is located in a sector which is having the advantages of well designed and connected wide roads and connects to the Capital and Noida in quick time. The Delhi Border is reachable in less than 15 minutes and the Noida border in less than 20 minutes. For public transport the Metro services are the best option with a station at Bata Chowk connecting it to Delhi airports and railway stations swiftly. To avail the best healthcare services there is the Metro Heart Institute and the Sarvodaya Hospital less than 5 minutes from the project and there are at least 16 good schools to provide best education to the kids in the project in a range of 2 to 5 kms. These schools are of top quality like the Delhi Public School and the Aravali International which have top reputations in the country.
Coming now to the facilities and amenities available in this high rise walled and gated project, the developers have provided it with all the necessary ones in high rise community living environment.
