The federation has requested a meeting with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, and officials from the housing and urban development department to address these issues. Suhas Patwardhan, President of the federation, stated that the government promotes self-redevelopment, but the clearance process is excessively time-consuming. He emphasized that a single-window system would significantly reduce delays.
Currently, multiple departments are involved in granting clearances, which poses coordination challenges. A unified system will streamline the process and expedite permissions. Members of the federation noted that the proposal for a single-window system has remained unimplemented since it was first suggested in 2019.
Leveraging technology could expedite the scrutiny of redevelopment proposals by planning authorities, aligning with global advancements in artificial intelligence. A member of a housing society in Pune, proposing self-redevelopment, described the current process as tedious, with each department taking months to grant approvals.
The Maharashtra State Cooperative Housing Societies Federation is a state-level organization that represents the interests of housing societies in Maharashtra. It aims to promote and protect the welfare of its member societies and their residents.
The implementation of a single-window clearance system could revolutionize the self-redevelopment process in Pune, enabling housing societies to revamp their old buildings more efficiently. With the support of the state government, these societies can create modern, safe, and sustainable living spaces for their residents.
