“…With the formal-informal dichotomy at the center of the discussion, some authors investigate the interplay of de facto and de jure tenure rights (Nakamura, 2016; Shirgaokar and Rumbach, 2018) and ramifications of the continuum of housing informalities on the local housing markets (Bhide and Waingankar, 2015; Naik, 2015; Sandhu, 1987). Some studies specifically engage with the consequences of formalization of land titles for slum households and report that tenure security improvement is critical for better housing and living conditions in slums (De, 2017; Kapoor and Le Blanc, 2008; Nakamura, 2014, 2017). A couple of studies also deal with the role of the micro (electoral politics and municipal finance) and the macro (globalization, neoliberalism and political economy) aspects perpetuating the proliferation of slums (Dupont and Gowda, 2020; Ren, 2018) as these contested sites continue to play an important economic and political function in the urban landscape (Zhang, 2018).…”

Purpose In India – the largest democracy and second most populated country globally – the housing research domain is relatively under-researched and under-theorized. To support and advance research in this domain, this study aims to form and organize the repository of extant academic knowledge in the subject matter of housing research in India. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a scoping review methodology and a thematic analysis method. All the articles analyzed in this study were systematically searched by following the scoping review approach proposed by Arksey and O’Malley (2005). An initial search found 365 articles and finally, 108 articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. Findings The data extracted from these 108 articles were analyzed using thematic analysis to arrive at four thematic areas, namely, housing policy, slum housing, housing finance and affordable housing. These thematic areas and 11 sub-themes present under them were used to present a thematic map of housing policy research in India. Practical implications This paper contributes to presenting an up-to-date literature review of the housing policy research in India. Originality/value To the best of our knowledge, this scoping review focused on housing research in India is the first of its kind. We hope that this study provides a repository of extant research on housing research in India to help current and future researchers.

Eliminating poverty by 2030 is the main target of Sustainable Development Goal 1 (SDG1). India had an ambitious target of cutting down its poverty rate to 10.95% from 21.92%, by 2030. This review has the objective to consolidate the literature related to SDG1 in India, since 2015 and to identify futuristic research niches. This research focuses on the research questions of identifying the public policy initiatives in India for achieving SDG1 and the performance of various indicators of SDG1 in India. Forty-one peer-reviewed articles related to SDG1 in India are selected from the sources of Web of Science and consolidated the findings of these works of literature by using the indicators of NITI Aayog as the themes; described the empirical papers by highlighting the key variables and findings. This research had identified the health insurance penetration; slum rehabilitation and rejuvenation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) are the futuristic areas for research. This paper contributes to the existing body of knowledge and recommends the key areas to be focused on achieving SDG1 in India. This review can help readers in understanding better methods of poverty eradication. High spirits are recommended from the implementing authorities to meet the objectives of indicators of poverty, better housing, health insurance penetration to households, and for the generation of employment and consumption by the scheme of MGNREGA. Moreover, a realistic picture of poverty eradication in India may be possible by using more indicators covering all the targets of SDG1. 1 | INTRODUCTION Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were conceived at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2012. In the year September 2015, global leaders agreed to 17 goals and 169 targets for a better world by 2030.India is a developing country and SDGs had great importance for India. Among various developing countries, India is the seventhlargest country by total area covering around 2% of the landmass and 17.7% of the world population (Worldometers, 2020). India is a country with more than 36 crore people without three square meals a day and with a poverty ranking of 49 in Poverty Index (Antony, 2019). SDGs are implemented in India under the monitoring of the

“…When users look at the slums, the first characteristic would be the congested urban population with informal settlement and squalor, as well as the lack of facilities such as safe water, sanitation and energy [15]. Slums are a big health, violence and poor infrastructure issue created by the disparity in demand for accommodation and traditional market availability.…”

“…Slums are a big health, violence and poor infrastructure issue created by the disparity in demand for accommodation and traditional market availability. As was the case before the rise in slums is projected to hit three billion over the next few years [15]. As a consequence, a variety of organizations and societies advocate contributing and bringing services to the slums and learning from their way of life and problem solving [15].…”
