These initiatives aim to enhance urban living standards, promote sustainable development, and provide affordable housing under the government’s commitment to ‘Housing for All.’
Inauguration of 1,675 Flats for Economically Weaker Section
At around 12:10 PM, PM Modi will visit the newly constructed Swabhiman Apartments in Ashok Vihar. These flats are part of the In-Situ Slum Rehabilitation Project by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to provide dignified housing to dwellers of Jhuggi Jhopri (JJ) clusters.
The Prime Minister will hand over keys to eligible beneficiaries, marking the second successful completion of such a project in Delhi. These flats offer a modern living environment with essential amenities. The project demonstrates an innovative funding model, where beneficiaries pay a nominal contribution of Rs 1.42 lakh and Rs 30,000 for five years of maintenance, while the government bears the majority of the construction cost, estimated at Rs 25 lakh per flat.
