Delhi | Wednesday | 9th October, 2019

Summary:

The survey has covered 1.25 lakh households in roughly 270 slum clusters, who will be issued survey certificates by the Delhi Government. This is a stepping stone towards the task of rehabilitation of slum clusters under the Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana (MMAY), formerly known as the Delhi Slum & Jhuggi JhopriRehabilitation & Relocation Policy, 2015. This will help to determine number of years the family has been residing in the slum clusters and also define the number of family members in each household. This survey will help the government in estimating the demand for construction of houses for the poor in the coming years." The primary focus of the MMAY-2015 is to rehabilitate the slum clusters within a radius of five kms of the existing slum so that there is a minimum interruption in the lives of people who are rehabilitated..
