How 1 Million Homes Became 1.1 Crore | Dr. Niranjan Hiranandani on PMAY & Urban Development

In this video, I reflect on a transformational shift in India’s housing sector—how the goal of building 1 million affordable homes rapidly evolved into a visionary mission of 1.1 crore homes under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). I had the opportunity to be part of those early discussions, and the scale and speed at which this initiative grew still amazes me.

From the PMO to the Housing Ministry, this journey showcases how leadership with clarity and ambition can drive change at a national level. The concept of affordable housing zones, private sector participation, and targeted incentives are all part of this inclusive model.

India’s urban development story is no longer just about commercial and residential zones—it’s about creating homes for every citizen. I hope this insight inspires more professionals, policymakers, and citizens to join hands in building a better future.
