‘Ease of living govt’s top priority’: Yogi launches integrated housing project

The initiative, the CM noted, is not just about providing homes but about transforming lives, improving living standards, and taking a meaningful step toward making Uttar Pradesh a 1 trillion dollar economy.

He also underlined the central government’s contribution in expanding access to quality housing and enhancing ease of living over the past decade. “The use of cutting-edge technology and delivering affordable housing ahead of schedule is the need of the hour, and LDA is progressing in this direction,” he said.

“Earlier, constructing a high-rise building could take 5 to 10 years. Today, with modern technology, structures can be raised within months, allowing faster access to better residential facilities,” Adityanath added.

He recalled the Light House Project launched in Lucknow two years ago, describing it as a commendable initiative that continued even during the Covid-19 pandemic, due to its use of cutting-edge technology. He directed the LDA to adopt similar ultra-modern construction techniques for the Anant Nagar project as well.

“Our aim is to provide affordable and yet high-quality residential facilities in a green and spiritually enriching environment, where all necessary amenities are available in one place. This is not only a priority for the government but also a guiding principle behind the scheme’s design and implementation,” the chief minister said.

Special attention has been given to the needs of economically weaker sections, and dedicated allocations were made for those eligible under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana to ensure inclusive housing, he added.

“It is our priority to ensure the best educational facilities — from pre-primary to higher education, technical education to medical education — within one well-planned campus. I am confident that the scheme has been conceptualized in a short time, and its benefits will reach the people as soon as possible,” the CM pointed out.

Reiterating his commitment to transparency and citizen-centric governance, Adityanath directed the LDA to begin preparations and ensure no individual should require a middleman to access housing under this scheme. “We must make the Anant Nagar project accessible to the common man as soon as possible.”
