The scenario of living in huts in slum areas is becoming very difficult day by day due to vast change in climate. Replacing t he ordinary huts and conventional poor class roofs with much efficient alternate roof cover is being the most required. On the other side, proper and efficient disposal of agricultural wastes is being the key factor in solid waste management in most of the Indian States. Having both the problems in a single line, in this project we have prepared and evaluated the performance of low cost roofing tiles using agricultural wastes as raw material. Based on the results, it is suggested that we can efficiently replace significant quantity of river sand in making roofing tiles with the corn cob powder and rice husk powder in appropriate propositions which gave compressive strength as similar as before replacement. By replacing the river sand in making roofing tiles would reduce its manufacturing cost as well as selling price and makes it more affordable. Thus preparation of such sand replaced roof tiles will significantly reflect healthy environmental and economic benefits.
