Housing And Urban Poverty Alleviation

National Human Rights Commission quizzed Secretaries of various Central Ministries including Home, Health and Family Welfare, and Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation, over plight of millions of homeless people and street children during pandemic.

The government has merged the ministries of urban development, and housing and urban poverty alleviation -- involved in policy making in urban areas -- to form the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.

"GST plus RERA will definitely bring big relief to house owners, the minister for Urban Development and Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation, said.

The clarification is likely to further dampen the already subdued real estate market that has seen no real appreciation in value of property or sales growth during the last few years.

The ministry's official page accidentally shared a tweet by a parody page of Venkaiah Naidu. The account, with the handle @VenkronymNaidu, follows only one profile - the ministry, which mistakenly retweeted them.

Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said that the law will make "buyer the king" and the developers will also benefit from the "increased buyers' confidence in the regulated environment".

Union Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation Minister M Venkaiah Naidu on Monday released 'Earthquake Hazard Zoning Maps' to enable quake resistant construction in the country where an estimated 95 per cent of households are vulnerable to earthquakes in different degrees.

Stressing that the government's top priority is eliminating poverty, Union Minister of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation M Venkaiah Naidu today urged commercial banks to scale up lending to the urban poor for setting up micro-enterprises.

In view of the large migration of population from rural areas to cities, the government on Friday said it will soon unveil a policy to promote rental housing as a viable housing option.

The government is gearing up to ensure the passage of the crucial real estate bill, which is aimed at curbing malpractices in the sector and bringing transparency through regulatory mechanism, in the forthcoming Winter session of Parliament.

It is suggested that the benefits under the schemes of Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation can also be extended to the beneficiaries of the scheme.

The government has identified 305 cities and towns across nine states for implementation of its ambitious 'Housing for All' scheme.

The Centre has not earmarked separate funds for 'Prime Minister's New 15 Point Programme for the Welfare of Minorities', an RTI query has revealed.

Even as the country faces a shortage of 19 million houses, around 10.2 million completed units are lying vacant, which can be absorbed under the rental housing programme for weaker sections, according to property consultant CBRE.

Housing for all by 2022 is also the key agenda of the new government. Despite the visible benefits, the housing sector is facing myriad challenges in terms of regulatory and policy challenges, Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation Karan Bir Singh Sidhu said.
