Affordable housing: Policy and practice in India

AbstractAffordable housing is a problem that many countries are taking stock of, world over. In India, the problem is much more stark with an estimated shortage of around 18 million houses, with 99% of this in the economically weaker sections of society. This paper sets out the definitions of affordable housing in India and across the world; the issues with the various definitions of affordable housing; the institutions and agencies responsible for formulating and implementing affordable housing policies in the state; the opportunities and challenges in affordable housing as well as a discussion on learnings from international experience in this sector

New Fixed Point Theorem on Triple Controlled Metric Type Spaces with Applications to Volterra–Fredholm Integro-Dynamic Equations

The objective of the research article is two-fold. Firstly, we present a fixed point result in the context of triple controlled metric type spaces with a distinctive contractive condition involving the controlled functions. Secondly, we consider an initial value problem associated with a nonlinear Volterra–Fredholm integro-dynamic equation and examine the existence and uniqueness of solutions via fixed point theorem in the setting of complete triple controlled metric type spaces. Furthermore, the theorem is applied to illustrate the existence of a unique solution to an integro-dynamic equation
