To carry out skill training programs in the construction sector under Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM)

NAREDCO (National Real Estate Development Council) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India, on 27th September 2018 at Mumbai, Maharashtra to strengthen the skill trainings and employment opportunities in the construction sector for the urban poor under Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Urban Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NULM).

The collaboration will also focus on the alignment of skill training programs based on industry requirements, the supply of skilled manpower to the construction industry, by training the unskilled manpower at their construction sites. Thus ensuring employment to the urban poor through captive placement model and up-skilling of the construction workers so that they can reap the benefits of an increase in real income and gain newer opportunities through Government certification program.

Commenting on the development Dr. Niranjan Hiranandani, National President, NAREDCO said, “There are two objectives of this MoU, first is to provide employment to urban poor waiting to enter construction sector and secondly up-skill the semi-skilled construction workers working on construction sites to a skilled category.
