Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate a slew of development measures, including 1,675 flats for the residents of J.J. clusters and two urban redevelopment projects in the city on Friday (January 3, 2025).
The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) in a statement said that PM Modi will visit the newly-constructed flats for the dwellers of Jhuggi Jhopri (JJ) clusters as part of slum rehabilitation project at Swabhiman Apartments in Delhi's Ashok Vihar and hand over keys to the eligible beneficiaries.
He will inaugurate 1,675 newly constructed flats, the PMO said, adding the development is in line with the prime minister's "housing for all" initiative.
The objective of the project is to provide the residents of JJ clusters in Delhi with a better and healthier living environment equipped with proper amenities and facilities.
For every ₹25 lakh spent on construction of a flat by the Central government, the eligible beneficiaries pay less than seven percent of the total amount, comprising ₹1.42 lakh as a nominal contribution and ₹30,000 for five years of maintenance, it said.
