New Delhi, Sept 17 (KNN) The central government is likely to put in place a single window time-bound clearance system for layout approvals and building permissions by the beginning of next year, said Minister of Housing and Urban Development, M Venkaiah Naidu.

“It is a long pending demand of the industry, on national level I am working with six ministers and I have a group of ministers’ meeting, I have held four rounds of meetings with secretaries and ministers of environment, defence, civil supplies, civil aviation and others,” said Naidu during a national summit on ‘Housing for All-Catalyst for development & inclusive growth,’ organised by ASSOCHAM on Wednesday.

“The last meeting is on October 14 after that we will submit the report to Cabinet and then we will go ahead because we are getting permissions from these departments and by the beginning of the next year, I am sure you will have this in place,” he added.

The minister also said that real estate sector needs to focus on green building technologies and adopt appropriate, cost-effective building materials, reduce dependence on conventional energy intensive construction practices.

Conceding that employment generation is a major challenge, he said, “If you can push the real estate sector, if you really give credit to the infrastructure sector and also to the (IT) information technology sector then Indian youth will get better employment opportunities.”

Naidu also emphasised on the need for labour reforms, reforms for land and real estate sector. Besides, he also stressed upon the need for politics of speedy and inclusive development. (KNN Bureau)
