MP Manish Tewari reviews Central schemes

Member of Parliament Manish Tewari today reviewed the progress of various national schemes during a meeting of the District-Level Advisory and Monitoring Committee held at the Municipal Corporation. The meeting brought together city officials and representatives to evaluate the progress and address challenges associated with various national schemes, including the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), and Affordable Rental Housing Schemes (ARHS).

A core focus was on developing a holistic rehabilitation policy for residents of rehabilitation colonies, addressing their housing needs and ensuring access to fundamental services and infrastructure.

Tewari underscored the necessity for a comprehensive approach to uplift these communities, suggesting that such a policy must go beyond housing to encompass health, education, and skill development—promoting self-reliance and long-term stability.

He encouraged the MC to prioritise and overcome obstacles to accelerate the delivery of these housing units, ensuring that those in need receive prompt assistance.

Addressing sanitation and cleanliness efforts under the Swachh Bharat Mission, the committee reflected on the progress in public hygiene, solid waste management and sanitation infrastructure improvements.
