Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched ambitious housing scheme on Thursday. The schemes, aimed at developing cities and towns as "new engines for growth", will entail an investment of over Rs. 3 lakh crore in the next five years.
The project launched by PM Modi is named as the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and housing for all.
Highlights of Modi's speech:
11.29 am: It is our duty to fulfil those dreams that millions have entrusted us to make possible. We will work for it
11.28 am: Go to any city, there are hardly any cities where you will find a concrete plan of how the city would be after 5 or 10 years
11.28 am: Every person dreams of having his or her own home. It is not just about a roof & 4 walls, it is much beyond that
11.27 am: Owning a home is very important, it results in self motivation. A poor man buys a house it gives him dreams, hopes
11.26 am: But we cannot just dwell on what did not happen in the past. We have a clear vision to target our goals
11.25 am: Would have been good if 25-30 years back we had recognized the importance of urbanization
11.25 am: We have decided to construct a memorial for Jayaprakash Narayan ji
11.25 am: People were thrown in jails, press freedom was curbed. Radio said what the Govt wanted. All this happened 40 years ago on 25-26
11.22 am: We can never forget 25-26 June, 40 years ago for sake of power India was pushed into emergency
11.20 am: We can't just be disappointed and sit down and say the world has moved way ahead of us. We can't be helpless
11.15 am: About 40 per cent of the population either lives in urban centres or depends on urban centres to earn their living
