Reconstruction of Earthquake Damaged
Rural Houses (REDRH)
Funding support
• Prime Minister’s Special Relief Package, Government of
India from the Planning Commission, Government of India
• Unit cost of Rs 4.89 lakh per house for 7,972 houses
• Total funding support of Rs 391 crore
• Project period over three financial years 2011-12, 2012-13
and 2013-2014
Why many traditional houses got
damaged?
• Assessment of damage: 54,000 of the total 92,000 rural
houses suffered various degrees of damage, but very few
casualties.
• SWOT analysis: Superstructure of wooden framed houses
with ekra walling and light iron sheet roof was mostly intact.
But, the stone masonry load-bearing walls laid on mudmortar and not having any reinforcement suffered
maximum damage to the shear forces. Private houses with
RC-frame structure with brick masonry infill and iron-sheet
roof performed well, showing only non-structural damage.
