A need was felt to lay down new Policy guidelines for Smaller
Residential Schemes, Group Housing and other schemes (other than
townships) to provide for smoother and speedier development of such
schemes in the State without any ambiguity.
1.02 While preparing the new Township Policy guidelines, the Policies of other
States like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab and Haryana were studied. A
workshop and series of discussions were held under the aegis of Institute of
Town Planners, India (ITPI), in which the President, ITPI; Secretary General,
ITPI; Chief Town Planners and senior officers of Town Planning of
Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Haryana, Gujarat and West Bengal and developers of
Rajasthan were present.. Views were also sought from various urban local
bodies in Rajasthan and agencies involved in the development of townships
and residential schemes including the Rajasthan Builders & Promoters
Association (RBPA) and Township Developers Association of Rajasthan
(TODAR) and Rajasthan State Real Estate Development Council
(RAJREDCO).
1.03 Taking into account various views/suggestions and learning from Policies
being followed by other States as well the experience gained over the past few
years, it was considered appropriate to frame a new Township Policy. Hence
the Policy called "Policy for Residential, Group Housing and other Schemes in
the Private sector (Up to 10 hectares) , 2010 ".
