Hon’bl MoS H&UA @HardeepSPuri Ji along with Hon’bl Ministers of Urban Development of various States/UTs addressed DMs/SSPs/MCs of 125 cities selected for saturation by Sept 2020 under #PMSVANidhi yesterday. Union Home Secretary, DGPs of States/UTs also participated in the Webinar

While #PMSVANidhi provides micro credit facility to the vendors, it is necessary to ensure that they are able to pursue their business without any fear, harassment or damage. Several other implementation issues on the ground were also discussed.

Hon’ble MoS urged district/ ULB officials to hold periodic meetings with key stakeholders for successful implementation of the Scheme & resolving all issues being encountered on the ground.

Hon'ble MoS launched a Mobile App for ULB functionaries.The App will provide user friendly digital interface for functionaries of ULBs to source loan applications of street vendors. This will extend the the outreach. Earlier Mobile App was accessible to Lending Institutions only.

We decided to conduct complete socio-economic profile of all beneficiaries to facilitate them to receive benefits under other Central/ State government welfare schemes e.g. PMAY(U), Aayushman Bharat, Ujjawala, Jan Dhan Yojana, Saubhagya, DAY-NULM etc.

They should also be made available other life transforming benefits like children education, health etc.

We also decided to provide distinct identity & certificate of vending to all #PMSVANidhi beneficiaries.

It was suggested to states/UTs to provide solar energy lights/equipments to street vendors for them to continue working at night for food stalls etc. Some States offered to modernise the vending cart.

Till date, 5.7 lakh applications have been received, over 1.30 lakh sanctioned & 37,000+ loans disbursed in across States/UTs.This ambitious scheme aims to provide a dignified living for our street vendors & bring them into the formal economy & contribute to #AtmaNirbharBharat.

Visited LightHouse Project site (LHP) at Perumbakkam in Chennai today. Hon’ble PM laid the foundation of this work of constructing 1,152 G+5 houses on 1 January 2021. Ms Sirke is using Precast Concrete Construction Technology from Finland to deliver this work in less than a year.

Was extremely impressed to see the progress on site. On the one hand, raft, base concrete slab etc are going for 4 towers, precast elements like roof slab, hollow columns, stairs etc are being cast in a temporary factory type of set up around 200 metres away from the site.

A Third Party expert body will be monitoring the quality.

Ms Sirke’s senior official told me that they guarantee life for 100 years & if maintained well, these houses will last for many more years. Could observe resource efficiency, speed & meticulous precision work on site.

Inspected 9 km metro section of Washermenpet to Wimco Nagar, which is ready for inauguration by Hon’ble PM tomorrow at 11 am in Chennai. This section covers very thickly populated areas of Northern Chennai.

It connects to large number of public/private huge sector industrial units & now connect them to airport, major railways & inter/ intra-city bus stations. Happy to interact with empowered transgender operators, who are fully trained to run New Washermenpet Station.

Visited the Integrated Command & Control Centre (ICCC) developed by Chennai Smart City today. As a brain & nervous system of the city, it is delivering many services to improve quality of life of citizens.

For example flood control & rain water monitoring on real time basis with sensors/cameras help in better preparedness & quick response to any calamity.
It is used for solid waste management.

Garbage collection vehicles are tracked, health of 210 water bodies measured, citizens' grievances managed. It is also being used as a citizen service portal. Many other applications like citizens’ safety, traffic & public transport services, water/sewer SCADA are getting added.
