In an attempt to bring smiles to the underprivileged people of the State, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will lay the foundation stones of the Light House Project (LHP) on Friday.
Under this project, 1,040 urban poor families of Lucknow would get a flat each of 415 sq ft area for only Rs 4.76 lakh. The State Government has set the timeline of a year to complete the project. The actual cost of this flat will be Rs 12.59 lakh, of which Rs 7.83 lakh will be given as grant by the Central and UP Governments. The remaining amount of Rs 4.76 lakh will have to be paid by the allottees of the economically weaker section (EWS).
The allotment of the flats, situated off Shaheed Path under Awadh Vihar Yojana, will be done as per Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) and District Urban Development Authority (DUDA). For this, a lottery will be drawn by the district magistrate of Lucknow.
The Prime Minister will virtually attend the foundation laying event of Global Housing Technology Challenge India (GHTC India) and distribution of houses under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) in six states of the country.
Yogi Adityanath will be joining the event virtually at 11 am on Friday. In the programme, the PM will also announce awards in many categories.
The Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry has chosen Indore in Madhya Pradesh, Rajkot in Gujarat, Chennai in Tamil Nadu, Ranchi in Jharkhand, Agartala in Tripura, and Lucknow in UP to construct houses under the LHP project.
