1.5 Lakh Entrepreneurs in Maratha Community
Speaking at the cheque distribution program of the Annasaheb Patil Economic Development Corporation, the Chief Minister said: the Corporation has supported 2,500 people with loans, helping them become self-reliant entrepreneurs. So far, 1.52 lakh entrepreneurs have been created with financial assistance of nearly ₹13,000 crore, generating employment for others.
The aim is to make Maharashtra the first slum-free state. Along with Central subsidies, the State Government will provide ₹50,000 per house and install solar energy for free electricity. With such affordable and quality homes, the “Solapur Pattern” has set an example in the housing sector, even surpassing private developers. Solapur has shown Maharashtra the way forward in delivering affordable, quality homes for the needy, said Mr. Fadnavis.
Solapur Pattern’ as a Model for the State
Under PMAY (Rural), 30 lakh houses have been approved by the Central Government. By 2018, all citizens on the waiting list will be given houses. Maharashtra has achieved the fastest pace in implementing rural housing, with work started on over 20 lakh houses. Within the next two years, 30 lakh families will have their own homes. Citizens left out in the 2018 list are now allowed fresh registration, enabling them too to get homes under the scheme.

48,000 Houses Planned for Solapur City
In memory of Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who laid the foundation for a new India, the Rashtratej Atal Housing Society has developed a beautiful housing project under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban). The Chief Minister noted that very well-planned houses have been constructed.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the government has launched PMAY to provide housing along with addressing issues of education, health, and employment. Some projects under this scheme were implemented through PPP mode, of which this is one. Under the Atal Construction Scheme, ₹2 lakh assistance was given, green zone approval reduced land prices, and subsidies were provided under PMAY. Thus, beneficiaries received affordable housing, with bank EMIs equivalent to house rent, ensuring ownership.
