I wanted to tell you that MLAs Vasu and Tanveer Sait, mayor R Lingappa, Rajiv Awas Yojana state coordinator Balakrishna Prasad also attended the workshop. This probably hints at a greater government involvement than what we here anticipating.

The survey has marked 53,908 houses in the 172 slums, in which about 2.65 lakh people are living. The Karnataka State Slum Development Board will build the houses, while the maintenance has been tasked to the civic body.

I was at the press conference of the district manager and he also asked elected representatives, especially corporators of all the 65 wards in the city, to extend cooperation to implement the project. Since this a massive project, i think that we need all the support that we can gather.

Did you know that according to the district manager, Prasad basic amenities like roads, drinking water, underground drainage system and community centres will also be created under the project. Thats a really good news in my personal opinion. and would greatly benefit the city.

The Centre's project aims at helping slum-dwellers get houses. The Union ministry of housing and poverty alleviation, which was launched on 2013, will be on till 2022. One million beneficiaries across India are expected to be covered under Rajiv Awas Yojana.

According to District minister V Srinivas Prasad on Tuesday mysuru is known as a planned city. He said that by clearing slums, we can expect more tourists to Mysuru, adding that Rajiv Awas Yojana will clear 172 slums from the city and slum-dwellers will be rehabilitated in 2,800 houses.

Here is the information you are looking for; The Centre has sanctioned the project to the city to clear 172 slums and to elevate Mysuru as a slum-free city in 10 years. This seems like a reasonable time to me, since there is a large number of slums, and rehabilitation takes time.

From what i have heard over the last couple of days, the heritage city will strive to free itself from slums so its brand value is enhanced. The tourist hub will get a fillip with a housing project for the creation of basic infrastructure.
