MHADA, a government organization responsible for providing affordable housing in Maharashtra, has been striving to streamline its operations and improve accessibility for the public. The documents to be released include a wide range of information such as applications, approvals, and other administrative records. By making these documents publicly available, MHADA hopes to foster a more transparent and accountable environment.
The decision to release these documents comes after a comprehensive review of MHADA's processes and the identification of areas where transparency could be improved.
