Conclave to bridge the gap between technology, innovators and stakeholders
UN-Habitat Executive Director Maimunah Mohd Sharif has commended the efforts put in by Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) for embracing the housing demand challenge through many high impact and inclusive programmes.
Sharif said, “Access to adequate housing can be a precondition for the enjoyment of several human rights including the rights to work, help, social security, vote, privacy or education.”
“I applaud the government’s effort to provide decent housing to all urban poor through largest affordable housing programmes,” she said virtually at a session on slum redevelopment of the Indian Urban Housing Conclave (IUHC) 2022.
“I am also very happy that this initiative prioritises the needs of women, minorities, persons with disabilities and urban migrants,” she added.
More than 5,000 visitors attended the 3-day Expo-cum-Conference held 19-21 Oct 2022 at Rajkot.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 19th October 2022 inaugurated the conclave and Light House Project (LHP) Rajkot under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U).
The conclave is expected to bridge the gap between technology providers, users, innovators, practitioners, and all other stakeholders.
It provided a platform to stakeholders for demonstrating their technologies as well as for deliberating upon various options of materials and processes for large scale adoption and mainstreaming in different type of housing construction in the country. fiinews.com
