In India, owning a home is more than just a financial investment — it’s a matter of dignity, security, and social empowerment. Yet for millions of middle-class and working-class families, this dream remains painfully out of reach due to the exploitative practices of builders, banks, and broken government systems.
Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution, believed that true social justice could not be achieved without economic justice — and housing was a key pillar of that vision. Inspired by this belief, Apnaaashiyana is bringing that vision to life in 21st-century Maharashtra, offering a path to homeownership that is builder-free, loan-free, and tension-free.
This blog explores how Apnaaashiyana, an affordable housing movement, is making Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s vision a reality for thousands of families.
The Legacy of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar in Housing Justice
Dr. Ambedkar was not only a champion of political rights and education, but also a visionary who understood the importance of economic dignity. He said:
“Shelter is not a luxury. It is a human right.”
Unfortunately, the present housing system in India benefits mostly the rich and well-connected. Private builders dominate the market, MHADA and CIDCO lotteries are unpredictable, and housing loans come with high interest and long-term burdens.
Ambedkar dreamed of a nation where every family — regardless of caste, income, or occupation — could access safe and dignified housing. That is the mission Apnaaashiyana has proudly taken up.
What is Apnaaashiyana?
Apnaaashiyana is not just a housing scheme — it’s a revolution in affordable homeownership. Based on a Recurring Deposit (RD) model, Apnaaashiyana allows middle-class families to own a flat by saving monthly — without loans, without interest, and without builder pressure.
Launched by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Samyak Niwas Hak Sanstha, this initiative provides homes in fast-developing areas like:
Thane
Panvel
Karjat
Raigad
Navi Mumbai
…and is expanding across Maharashtra.
Whether you're a government employee, private worker, auto driver, housemaid, or small business owner — Apnaaashiyana welcomes you.
Why Is Apnaaashiyana Better Than MHADA, CIDCO, or Builders?
Let’s compare:
Feature | Apnaaashiyana | MHADA/CIDCO | Private Builders |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guaranteed Flat | ✅ Yes | ❌ Lottery-based | ❌ Not guaranteed |
| No Loans Required | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Builder-Free Process | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
| Transparent Pricing | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ Hidden Costs |
| RD-Based Savings | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ❌ No |
| No Bank Dependence | ✅ Yes | ❌ Yes | ❌ Yes |
With Apnaashiyana, you don’t have to depend on luck (like CIDCO lotteries) or deal with hidden builder charges. You control your investment through a legal, cooperative system.
How Does the RD-Based Model Work?
Apnaaashiyana believes that small, consistent savings can build a big future. Here’s how their system works:
Start a Recurring Deposit (RD) with a partnered Nidhi or cooperative institution.
Deposit ₹5,000 to ₹15,000/month for a fixed tenure (36–60 months).
After completion, your saved amount becomes your flat booking amount.
You get a flat allotment in your chosen area, without needing a bank loan or EMI.
No builder. No loan. No headache. Just your savings creating your home.

Real-Life Stories: Apnaaashiyana Changing Lives
Case 1: Rekha More (Thane)
