New Delhi, June 5 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said his government is focusing on the housing sector.

"The NDA Government is giving great importance to the housing sector. We are working towards ensuring that every Indian has a home by 2022, when India marks 75 years since Independence," Modi said while interacting with beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.

He said his government's Awas Yojana aims at making better quality of life for people in the country.

"Every human desires his or her own house. A person becomes much happier when he or she has a house. The Awas Yojana is not merely about brick and mortar. It is about a better quality of life and dreams coming true," he said.

Speaking on his government's performance in the sector, Modi said: " We have been working to free the housing sector from middlemen, corruption and ensuring that the beneficiaries get their own home without hassles."

He said the yojana has also created employment oppurtunities in the sector.

"Due to PMAY, there are employment opportunities being created for people. At the same time, we are working on skill development to enable faster and better quality construction of the houses," he said.

Pointing towards the need of using technology in the sector, Modi said: "The housing sector is being invigorated with latest technology. This is enabling faster construction of affordable houses for the poor in towns and villages."
