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.
