Real Estate Maharashtra:In a significant move, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's new Union Cabinet has announced its first major policy decision to provide assistance for the construction of an additional three crore rural and urban houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). This ambitious project aims to further the government's mission of 'Housing for All'. The decision has been welcomed by real estate experts, who believe it will not only improve the living standards of millions but also create substantial employment opportunities, thereby contributing to the overall economic growth.
