Bhubaneswar, Nov 19 (PTI) Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik Monday met a team of eminent architects from Norman Foster Foundation (NFF), a Madrid based organisation working for slum development, at the state secretariat here.
The Norman Foster Foundation is collaborating with the state government, Housing and Urban Development Department and Tata Trusts to design and develop master plans for slums under Odisha Liveable Habitat Mission.
"The project is well accepted by slum dwellers and community leaders. This largest slum land-titling project will benefit a million individuals," Patnaik said.
The state government has distributed land title and work order for housing to more than 10,000 slum dwellers at a special programme in Puri.
This apart, land tenure and housing support, these families will also get all essential civic services like access to pipe water, toilet, road, drain, street light and improvement of community places under the Jaga Mision launched in May.
