Pucca housing (or pukka or pacca) refers to dwellings that are designed to be solid and permanent.
This term is applied to housing in South Asia built of substantial material such as stone, brick, cement, concrete, or timber.
[1] The term pucca means "solid" and "permanent", from Hindustani पक्का/پکّا pakkā, lit.
'"unripe, raw, inexperienced"'), referring to buildings of flimsy construction.
[2] Pucca houses are sometimes built to replace homes damaged by natural disasters.
