Re-live the projects
The previous Congress government had sanctioned the construction of about 19 lakh houses under various housing schemes including Aashraya, Basava, Devaraja Arasu and Ambedkar yojanas to campaign before the election. However, for this purpose, that government announce only Rs 2000 crore. But finally released Rs 1200 crore only. So the plans fell into place. Soon after coming to power, the BJP government has taken the decision to complete all the housing schemes of the previous government in order not to disturb the poor.
RERA Act
The Central Government has enacted the RERA Act to look after the middle class home buyers in the real estate sector. The government is committed to fulfilling its aspirations.
Securing Housing Rights for 2,500 Economically Weaker Families
Through the Slum Board, V. Somanna facilitated the distribution of title deeds to 2,500 economically weaker families. This initiative helped eligible families gain legal recognition of their housing rights and greater security over their homes. It marked an important step towards providing housing security and improving the lives of underprivileged communities.
Strengthened the Karnataka Housing Board
The Karnataka Housing Board (KHB) was on the verge of closure due to revenue losses. The board had no financial strength. However, during a land audit conducted by V Somanna, 9,000 sites were discovered. It was found that many sites had been illegally occupied. Strict action was taken against the illegal occupation. Corner sites are being auctioned, and approximately ₹500 crore has already been generated for KHB.
