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.

In October 2015, India's medical tourism sector was estimated to be worth US$3 billion. It is projected to grow to $7–8 billion by 2020. According to the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII), the primary reason that attracts medical value travel to India is cost-effectiveness and treatment from accredited facilities at par with developed countries at much lower cost. Northeast India is well blessed by Nature. It has rich cultural heritage and exotic presence of flora and fauna. Besides having spectacular biodiversity, wildlife, snow- capped Himalayas, tropical forests, shrines of diverse religions, and prominent archaeological sites, Northeast India provides an immense opportunity for medical tourism. So, medical treatment in the Northeast means adding new life to health.
