Special Housing Scheme: It will now be easier for the poor people living in the country’s capital Delhi to buy a house. In fact, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) said that it will start a special housing scheme for next year, under which it will have 110 flats in Vasant Kunj, Dwarka, Rohini, Ashok Pahari and Jahangirpuri. Out of these, a discount of 25% will be given on flats located in Narela, Loknayakpuram and Sirsapur. Officials said that this decision was taken in the monthly meeting of DDA chaired by Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena that day.
In fact, DDA has approved three housing schemes. Under this special housing scheme, a provision of special discount of 25% has been made for these categories on houses in Narela, Sirsapur and Loknayakpuram. In these, the beneficiaries of PM-Vishwakarma Yojana, including laborers building houses and workers providing other civil services will get discount on purchase.
These workers will be able to avail the benefits of the scheme
The special thing is that in this special housing scheme of DDA, other deprived sections will be beneficiaries including auto-rickshaw drivers, cab drivers, women, persons of SC/ST category, widows, disabled persons, ex-servicemen and those who have received bravery awards.
‘Need to think for the poor’
Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena said, “So far no one has seriously considered the housing needs of the poorest people of the city. Surprisingly, the workers engaged in construction work building houses for lakhs of people do not have a roof over their heads and are forced to live in tents and huts. This decision of the authority will prove to be a turning point in the lives of such people. ”
Under the Special Housing Scheme 2025, the DDA will offer seven high income group (3BHK), 58 middle income group (2BHK), and 45 low income group (1BHK) flats. Officials said the flats in Vasant Kunj will be offered through e-auction and in other locations on a first-come-first-served basis. For special groups eligible for a 25% discount, this discount will be applicable only till March 31, 2025.
