Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday inaugurated 184 newly constructed Type-VII Multi-Storey Flats for Members of Parliament at Baba Kharak Singh Marg in New Delhi.
Addressing the gathering on the occasion, he said that recently he had inaugurated the Common Central Secretariat, known as Kartavya Bhavan, at Kartavya Path and today, he had the opportunity to inaugurate a newly constructed residential complex for Members of Parliament.
The PM highlighted the four towers of the complex—Krishna, Godavari, Kosi, and Hooghly—named after four great rivers of India, remarking that these rivers, which give life to millions, will now inspire a new stream of joy in the lives of public representatives.
He added that the tradition of naming rivers binds the nation in a thread of unity. “The new complex will enhance the ease of living for MPs in Delhi. The availability of government housing for MPs in Delhi will now increase,” he said.
Acknowledging the challenges faced by first-time elected MPs in securing housing in Delhi, Modi stated that the newly constructed buildings will help eliminate these difficulties.
He informed that over 180 MPs will reside together in these multi-storey buildings and underscored the significant economic dimension of the new housing initiative.
“21st-century India is as eager for development as it is sensitive to its responsibilities”, exclaimed Modi, remarking that while the nation builds Kartavya Path and Kartavya Bhavan, it simultaneously fulfills its duty of delivering piped water to millions of citizens.
He added that as the country completes new housing for its MPs, it also facilitates homeownership for 4 crore poor families through the PM Awas Yojana.
He emphasized that while the nation constructs a new Parliament building, it is also establishing hundreds of new medical colleges. He affirmed that the benefits of these initiatives are reaching every section of society.
