Ministry Of 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.

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.

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 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.

Emphasising the need to formulate new schemes aimed at slum redevelopment and affordable housing for urban poor, Urban Development and Housing and Poverty Alleviation Minister Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday observed the need to give a fillip to the flow of bank finance for poor in urban areas.

Highlighting the priorities of his ministry, Union Minister for Urban Development, Housing and Poverty Alleviation Venkaiah Naidu today said private sector as part of their social responsibility should go for housing for their staff.

The Finance Ministry is considering a proposal to relax funding norms for the realty sector so that good housing projects are not starved of funds.
