1. BACKROUND
The need for providing rent free accommodation to police personnel by the State was recognized as far back as 1861 when the foundation was laid for the present police system in the country. This general principle enunciated by the first Police Commission was reiterated by the Police Commission of 1902 which attached great importance to the provision of 'married quarters to every police officer of and below the rank of Sub-Inspector'. The National Police Commission also emphasized (1979) unequivocally that "the deficiency in housing and increasing hardship in paying high rents for private accommodation secured with great difficulty operates as the largest single factor responsible for grievous loss of morale in police ranks, particularly the constabulary. We, therefore, consider it a matter for urgency that this condition of service which has remained neglected for many years be taken up for immediate fulfillment."
In Andhra Pradesh, the Public Works Department which was the nodal agency for all Government housing, had no earmarked division for policy housing. Similarly, in the police headquarters too, a senior officer in charge of welfare coordinated the housing activity in addition to his numerous other functions. It was apparent that the police housing programme would continue to languish in the absence of a proper organisation capable of tackling the Herculean task of speeding the construction of police quarters as well as mobilizing institutional finance in a big way to augment the State funds for the purpose.
To achieve this objective, the Government of Andhra Pradesh incorporated the Andhra Pradesh State Police Housing Corporation, the first-ever such enterprise in the country, as far back as 1971.
The Andhra Pradesh State Police Housing Corporation Limited was incorporated on 29.05.1971 registered under the Companies Act with a view to expedite the construction of quarters for Police Personnel. The authorised capital has since been increased to Rs.3.00 Crores from March, 1978. The paid up capital as on date is Rs.180.74 lakhs.
