In technical parlance, you call it the Light House Project. I believe these six projects are really like light towers. These six light house projects would give a new direction to the housing construction in the country. The coming together of states from the east-west, north-south and every region of the country is further strengthening our sense of cooperative federalism. These light house projects will be constructed through modern technology and innovative processes. This will reduce the construction time and prepare the more resilient, affordable and comfortable homes for the poor. In a way, these projects will be incubation centres and our planners, architects, engineers and students will be able to learn and experiment with new technology. ” Narendra Modi Prime Minister of India 1.1.2021 2 Light House Project at Agartala, Tripura 1. Background The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) is implementing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U) Mission, one of the largest public housing programs in the world, with a goal of providing all weather pucca houses to all eligible urban families by 2022. Against an assessed demand of 1.12 crore houses, so far over 1.08 crore have been sanctioned; out of this over 72 lakh have been grounded for construction and nearly 42 lakh have been completed and delivered to the beneficiaries.

  • North Eastern Region Urban Development Programme (NERUDP)
    North Eastern Region Urban Development Programme (NERUDP) The North Eastern Region (NER) of India, which includes the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura, is one of the less developed regions in India. In order to enable these States to meet their development challenges in the urban sector, Government of India (GoI) has requested Asian Development Bank (ADB) to assist it in its efforts to encourage development in the NER. During the last four years an urban sector road map has been prepared for infrastructure investment requirements in priority urban services viz. (i) Water Supply, (ii) Sewerage and Sanitation, and (iii) Solid Waste Management in these states. In addition, Project Management and Capacity Development of the ULBs through institutional and financial reforms is another component of the proposed project so that the ULBs become capable of planning and implementing infrastructure projects. The project named as North Eastern Region Urban Development Programme (NERUDP) is to be implemented by the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) in two phases. Phase – I covers capital cities of 5 North Eastern States viz. Agartala (Tripura), Aizawl (Mizoram), Gangtok (Sikkim), Kohima (Nagaland) and Shillong (Meghalaya). The states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Manipur would be covered in Phase – II. The project (Phase-I) has been approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) in its meeting held on 26.02.2009. The total cost of the Phase-I of NERUDP is estimated at $285.7 million (INR 1371.4 crores @ $1 = INR 48) with the following financing plan: • 30% of cost of project (i.e.
