'The goal is to provide housing and livelihood to people', CEO Srinivas said on Dharavi Redevelopment Project

The aim of the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) is to provide housing and a means of livelihood. DRP Chief Executive Officer or CEO SVR Srinivas reiterated these points. He stated that its vision is a slum-free Mumbai. Moreover, the vision is of having a slum-free Maharashtra in the days ahead. This is a tangible step towards having India as a slum-free nation.

The official said that its goal is to have housing near everyone, no one should be left out. This is the most inclusive Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) project in India so far.

The Dharavi Redevelopment Project is a major urban renewal initiative for the country's financial capital. The aim is to transform Dharavi, Asia's largest slum, into a modern, integrated township. The DRP is based on the public-private partnership (PPP) model. The project is a joint venture between the Adani Group and the Maharashtra government. The project received approval from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis last month. Dharavi is home to around 1 million people. Authorities have struggled for decades to redevelop the area. The slum area is spread over 640 acres (260 hectares).
