In the context of the massive housing initiative by the Government of India and various States/UTs schemes and programmes, the Technology Sub-Mission under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) facilitates adoption of modern, innovative and green technologies and building material for faster and quality construction of houses. In this regard, BMTPC during recent past, has initiated number of Demonstration Housing Projects in various parts of the country under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban) – Housing for All Mission. The efforts of the Council have helped in building up confidence and acceptability of proven and emerging technologies to public & private construction agencies, professionals etc. These Demonstration Housing Projects have helped in spreading awareness about new technologies and disseminate technical know-how in the States. Most of the States are adopting new construction technologies for speedy, safe and sustainable construction.
