In line with his commitment of 'Housing for All', Modi visited newly constructed flats for the dwellers of Jhuggi Jhopri (JJ) clusters under the In-Situ Slum Rehabilitation Project at Swabhiman Apartments, Ashok Vihar here.
The Prime Minister inaugurated the 1,675 newly constructed flats for the dwellers of JJ clusters and also handed over keys to eligible beneficiaries at Swabhiman Apartments in Ashok Vihar.
The inauguration of newly constructed flats will mark the completion of the second successful In-Situ Slum Rehabilitation Project by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA).
The objective of the project is to provide the residents of the JJ clusters in Delhi with a better and healthier living environment equipped with proper amenities and facilities.
For every Rs 25 lakh spent on construction of a flat by the government, eligible beneficiaries pay less than 7 per cent of the total amount, comprising Rs 1.42 lakh as a nominal contribution and Rs 30,000 for five years of maintenance.
Addressing a large gathering, Modi highlighted that keys to around 1,500 houses were given to the people today.
"Swabhiman apartments will boost the self-respect of the people further," he added.
The Prime Minister said he realised that there was a new excitement and energy amongst the beneficiaries during his interaction with them earlier in the day.
He added that no matter who the owner of the house was, but they were all part of his family.
