PM Modi will inaugurate 1,675 newly constructed flats and hand over keys to eligible beneficiaries at Swabhiman Apartments.
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Delhi’s Ashok Vihar on Friday to review the newly constructed flats for residents of Jhuggi Jhopri (JJ) clusters under the In-Situ Slum Rehabilitation Project at Swabhiman Apartments around 12:10 PM. He will also lay the foundation stone for several development projects in the national capital. PM Modi will inaugurate 1,675 newly constructed flats and hand over keys to eligible beneficiaries at Swabhiman Apartments.
The completion of the new apartment buildings marks the end of the second In-Situ Slum Rehabilitation Project by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA). This project is designed to provide people living in Delhi’s JJ clusters with better, healthier living conditions and sufficient amenities.
For every Rs 25 lakh spent on the 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.
PM Modi will also inaugurate two urban redevelopment projects: the World Trade Centre (WTC) at Nauroji Nagar and the General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) Type-II Quarters at Sarojini Nagar.
The World Trade Centre at Nauroji Nagar has transformed the area by replacing over 600 dilapidated quarters with state-of-the-art commercial towers, offering around 34 lakh square feet of premium commercial space with advanced amenities.
The project incorporates green building practices, including a zero discharge concept, solar energy generation, and rainwater harvesting systems.
The GPRA Type-II Quarters at Sarojini Nagar include 28 towers that house over 2,500 residential units, offering modern amenities and efficient use of space. The project’s design incorporates rainwater harvesting systems, sewage and water treatment plants, and solar-powered waste compactors encouraging eco-conscious living.
The Prime Minister will soon inaugurate the new CBSE Integrated Office Complex in Dwarka, Delhi, built with an estimated budget of Rs 300 crore. This impressive complex includes not just offices, but also a modern auditorium, an advanced data center, and a comprehensive water management system, alongside other features. Taking a significant step towards sustainability, the building adheres to top ecological standards, earning the prestigious Platinum Rating from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC).
PM Modi is gearing up to officially open three significant projects at Delhi University, totaling more than Rs 600 crore in investments. This ambitious undertaking includes the creation of the Eastern Campus in Surajmal Vihar, East Delhi, and the Western Campus in Dwarka. In addition, a new Veer Savarkar College will be established in Roshanpura, Najafgarh, equipped with state-of-the-art educational amenities.
