In line with his commitment of ‘Housing for All’, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will visit newly
constructed flats for the dwellers of Jhuggi Jhopri (JJ) clusters under the In-Situ Slum Rehabilitation Project at
Swabhiman Apartments, Ashok Vihar, Delhi, at around 12:10 PM, on 3 January 2025. Thereafter at around
12:45 PM, he will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of multiple development projects in Delhi.
Prime Minister will inaugurate the 1,675 newly constructed flats for the dwellers of JJ clusters and
also hand over keys to eligible beneficiaries at Swabhiman Apartments in Ashok Vihar, Delhi. The
inauguration of newly constructed flats will mark the completion of second successful In-Situ Slum
Rehabilitation Project by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA). The objective of the project is to
provide the residents of the JJ clusters in Delhi with a better and healthier living environment
equipped with proper amenities and facilities.
For every Rs 25 lakh spent on construction of a flat by the government, eligible beneficiaries pay
less than 7% of the total amount, comprising Rs 1.42 lakh as a nominal contribution and Rs 30,000
for five years of maintenance.
Prime Minister will also inaugurate two urban redevelopment projects- the World Trade Centre
(WTC) at Nauroji Nagar and the General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) Type-II
Quarters at Sarojini Nagar.
The World Trade Centre at Nauroji Nagar has transformed the area by replacing over 600
dilapidated quarters with state-of-the-art commercial towers, offering around 34 lakh square feet of
premium commercial space with advanced amenities. The project incorporates green building
practices, with provisions such as a zero-discharge concept, solar energy generation, and rainwater
harvesting systems.
The GPRA Type-II Quarters at Sarojini Nagar includes 28 towers that house over 2,500 residential
units, offering modern amenities and efficient use of space. The project’s design incorporates
rainwater harvesting systems, sewage and water treatment plants, and solar-powered waste
compactors encouraging eco-conscious living.
Prime Minister will also inaugurate CBSE's Integrated Office Complex at Dwarka, Delhi built at
around Rs 300 crore. It includes offices, auditorium, advanced data center, comprehensive water
management system among others. The ecofriendly building has been constructed to high
environmental standards and was designed as per Platinum Rating standards of the Indian Green
Building Council (IGBC).
Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone of three new projects in Delhi University worth over Rs
600 crore. It includes an academic block in the Eastern Campus at Surajmal Vihar in East Delhi and
an academic block in the Western Campus at Dwarka. It also includes building Veer Savarkar
College at Roshanpura, Najafgarh, having state-of-the-art facilities for education.
