New Delhi, Jan 02, 2021: My colleague in the Union Cabinet, Mr. Hardeep Singh Puri Ji, Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Dev Ji, Jharkhand Chief Minister Bhai Hemant Soren Ji, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Ji, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mr. Shivraj Singh Chauhan Ji, Gujarat Chief Minister Mr. Vijay Rupani ji, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Thiru EK Palaniswami ji, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Mr. YS Jaganmohan Reddy ji, all the respected governors present at the program , other dignitaries present , brothers and sisters, to all of you, all countrymen Happy 2021, Many, many wishes. Today is the beginning of moving ahead with new energy, with new resolutions and at a fast pace to prove new resolutions. Today, new technology for the poor, middle class, to build houses. The country is getting it. In technical language you call it light house project. I believe these 6 projects are really like lighthouses. These 6 light house projects will show new direction to housing construction in the country. The participation of states from every region of East-West, North-South, in this campaign is strengthening our spirit of Cooperative-Federalism.

Colleagues,

This light house project is now a perfect example of how the country works. We also have to understand the big vision behind it. At one time housing schemes were not as much in the priority of the central governments as they should be. The government did not go into the nuances and quality of home construction. But we know, if these changes have been made in detail without work, it would have been difficult if these changes were not made. Today, the country has chosen a different approach, has taken a different route.

Colleagues,

We have many such things that go on continuously without changing the process. The case related to housing has also been the same. We decided to change it. Why should our country not get better technology ? Why should not our poor get long-lived homes ? Why should the houses we build not be completed fast? It is important for government ministries not to have large and sluggish structures, but also to be agile and fit like start ups. Therefore, we organized the Global Housing Technology Challenge and invited leading companies from all over the world to India. I am happy that more than 50 Innovative Construction Technologies from all over the world participated in the event, participated in the competition.With this global challenge we have got the scope to i nnovate and incubate with new technology . In the next phase of the same process, the work of 6 light house projects at different sites is starting from today. These light house projects will be made up of modern technology and innovative processes. This will reduce the construction time and make the poor more resilient, affordable and comfortable houses. Those who are experts know about this but the countrymen also need to know about them. Because this technology is being used in one city today, tomorrow it can be expanded across the country.

Colleagues,

Are in Indore which became home she will not walls are brick and mortar, but Pre-fabricated Sandwich Panel system it  will use. Monolithic Concrete Construction through tunnel in Rajkot will use this technology. With this French technology we will gain momentum and the house will also be more capable of withstanding disasters. In Chennai, US and Finland will use Precast Concrete system , which will make the house faster and cheaper. Will build houses in Ranchi with Germany’s 3D construction system . Each room will be made separately and then the entire structure will be added in the same way as Lego Blocks toys. New Zealand steel frames in Agartala Homes are being built with technology related to Where earthquake risk is high, such houses are better. Canada’s technology is being used in Lucknow , which will not require plaster and paint and will use the entire walls already prepared. This will make houses faster. Thousands of houses will be built in 12 months at every location. Thousand houses in a year. This means that an average of two and a half to three houses will be built. Nearly ninety-nine houses will be built in a month and the target is to build one thousand houses in a year. It is intended to be a success in this work before the next 26 January.

Colleagues,

These projects will be incubation centers in a way . Through which our planners, architects, engineers and students  will be able to learn and experiment with new technology. I urge all such universities across the country. All Inginiyrieng College urge linked your professors in the field of , your Faclti , your Students ten , Create Group Pandrah- fifteen , a move to keep these 6 sites for a week , completely Study it , the governments there also help them and in a way the people of our universities all over the country who Pilot ProjectsAre happening One type of incubators are occurring. There go the technology and Chahunga us a technology with closed eyes Adopt do not need to. We see over and over again according to our country’s needs , in terms of our country’s resources , our country’s requirement according to us this technology shape what can change ? His Activity What can change ? Can he change his performance level ? I firmly believe youth of our country see that it definitely Value edition will , Some will add newness and in reality the country will move in a new direction at a faster pace. Along with this, a certificate course is also being started to upgrade the skills related to new technology to the people associated with building houses. This is a big job. We have started this simultaneously with Human Resource Development, Skill Development . You can read online. Can understand this new technology. Now you can get a certificate by taking an exam . This is being done so that the countrymen can get the best technology and material in the world in house construction.

Colleagues,

The ASHA-India program is being run to promote research and startups related to modern housing technology within the country . Through this, new and affordable technology for building 21st century houses will be developed in India itself. The 5 best techniques have also been selected under this campaign. Right now I have also got the opportunity to release a book based on best construction technology and an online certificate course- Navriti. I congratulate all my colleagues for a holistic approach in a similar way.

Colleagues,

Whether the poor living in the city or the middle class people, what is the biggest dream of all this ? Everyone has a dream – own home. Ask anyone who wants to build a house. Children will have a good life. The house in which their happiness is associated, happiness and sorrow are associated, the upbringing of children is connected, a guarantee is also attached in times of difficulty that if there is nothing, then it is our own home. But over the years, people were losing their trust in their home. I bought a house by investing a lifetime of capital, I deposited the money, but the house used to be on paper., Would get home, it was no longer trusted. Even after earning, the confidence of buying a house of his own need was shaken. Reason – Because the prices had gone so high! Another trust that was broken is whether the law will support us or not? If there was any quarrel with the builder, trouble came then it was also a matter of concern. The situation in the housing sector had become such that in case of any disturbance, the common man did not believe that the law would stand with him.

Colleagues,

He also wanted to tackle it in some way, so the high interest of the bank, the difficulties in getting the loan, once again lowered his dreams. Today I am satisfied that the steps taken in the country in the last 6 years have returned the confidence of a common human , especially the working middle class family, that he too can have his own home. Can be your owner’s house. Now the focus of the country is on the needs of the poor and the middle class, now the country has given priority to the sentiments of the people living in the city, their feelings. Under the Prime Minister Housing Scheme, lakhs of houses have been built in cities in a very short time. Huh. Construction work of millions of houses is also going on.

Colleagues,

If we look at the work of millions of houses built under PM Awas Yojana, then there will be focus on both Innovation and Implementation . B Uilding Material accordance with the requirements of local needs and home owners in Innovation will see. Along with the house, other plans have also been added to it as a package. Due to this, many facilities like water, electricity, gas, which are its essential facilities are being ensured in the poor who are getting homes. Not only that, GO-tagging of every house is being done to ensure transparency, everything is revealed due to GO-tagging. Technology is also being used in this. Every stage of house construction has to be uploaded on the website. Government assistance to build a house is sent directly to the beneficiary’s bank account. And I would also thank the states because they are also actively involved in this. Today I have got the privilege of honoring many states for this. I especially congratulate these states who have emerged victorious , who have come to Mandan to move forward.

Colleagues,

The efforts of the government are a big benefit to the middle class living in the cities. The middle class is being exempted from interest on a fixed amount of homelone for their first house. Even during the Corona crisis, the government started a special scheme for interest rebate on home loans. A special fund of 25 thousand crore rupees has also been created for the houses of middle class colleagues who were lying incomplete for years.

Colleagues ,

Along with all these decisions, people now also have the power of law like RERA. RERA has returned confidence in the people that the project they are investing in will be completed, their house will no longer be stranded. Today, about 60 thousand real estate projects in the country are registered under RERA. Thousands of complaints have been settled under this law, that is, thousands of families have been helped to find their home.

Colleagues,

Housing for all, that is all for the house , for the realization of this goal is to be all-round work, that millions of poor and middle class families to life in bringing major changes. These houses are boosting the confidence of the poor. These houses are increasing the power of the youth of the country. With the keys of these houses many doors are opening simultaneously. When someone gets the key of the house, then it is not even this door or four walls. When the key to the house comes. A dignified life of the open door, a secure future of the open door, when the right of ownership of the house to house ,When the key is found, the door of savings also opens, the door to the extension of one’s life, between five-twenty-five people , in society , in knowledge , in the community, the door of a new identity opens. A sense of respect returns. Confidence arises. These keys , the development of people ‘s , their progress to the open door. Not only this , even though this key will be the key to the door, it also opens the locks of the brain. Who starts cherishing new dreams. He moves towards a new resolve and dreams of doing something in life start weaving in a new way. This key has so much power.

Colleagues,

Another major step has also been taken during the Corona crisis last year. This step – Affordable Rental Housing ComplexScheme: The target of this scheme is our laborers who come from one state to another or from village to city. Before Corona, we had seen that at times, things were sometimes spoken to people who came from other states. He was humiliated. But at the time of Corona, all the workers returned to their respective places, and the rest came to know how difficult it was to live without them. How difficult it is to run a business. How difficult it is to run an industry, and people with folded hands and feet, come back and come back. Those who did not accept the honor of the power of our workers, Corona. Forced to accept them. We have seen that our laborers in cities are not able to provide houses on reasonable rent. Due to this, a large number of workers have to live in small rooms. Water and electricity in these places, There are many problems ranging from toilet to uncleanliness. All these fellow workers who put their labor in the service of the nation should live with dignity, it is also the responsibility of all our countrymen. It is with this thinking that the government, along with industries and other investors, is emphasizing to build houses with fair rent. Efforts are also made to have these houses in the same area where they work.

Colleagues,

Constant decisions are also being taken to encourage the real estate sector. To increase the enthusiasm of buyers, the tax on houses is also being reduced. The tax which used to be taxed at 8 percent earlier on cheap homes, is now just 1 percent. At the same time, instead of 12 percent tax on ordinary houses, only 5 percent GST is being taken. The government has also recognized the sector for infrastructure so that they can get loans at cheaper rates.

Colleagues,

In the reforms that have been done in the past years, our ranking has gone straight from 185 to 27 in three years with regard to Construction Permit. The online system for construction related permission has also been expanded to more than 2 thousand cities. Now in this new year we all have to work together to implement it in all cities across the country.

Colleagues,

Investment on infrastructure and construction, and especially on housing sector, is a force-multiplier in the economy. Such a large amount of steel, cement, construction material, accelerates the whole sector. This not only increases demand, but also creates new employment opportunities. Government’s efforts are constantly going on to strengthen the real estate sector of the country. I believe that the dream of Housing for All will come true. 2 crore houses have been built in villages in these years. This year, we have to accelerate the construction of houses in villages. In citiesThe expansion of new technology will also accelerate both construction and delivery of houses. To advance our country at a fast pace, we all have to walk at a fast pace, we will have to walk together. Must walk in the prescribed direction. The goal is not to let it disappear and to keep going, and for this, decisions have to be taken at a fast pace. With this resolve, I wish you all today this 6 light house in a way to our new generation, It will be my desire to be the most useful for our technology and engineering students. I would like all universities, I would like all colleges to study important projects like this. Let’s go and see how it is happening. How is technology used? How is the account calculated? This in itself will become a very big scope of education and therefore I specially invite technicians to all the young engineers of the country. Take as many lights as you can from this light house and put as much light as you can, and use as much light as you can. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year. Many best wishes for this six light house.

Thank you very much !
