 To be held on August 19-20, 2016 at Hotel Taj Palace, Diplomatic Enclave in New Delhi, the 2 days convention will see active cross-border exchange of knowledge, resources and personnel between.
 
Coinciding with the theme ‘India is future ready: Housing and Infrastructure- Key Catalyst’, the main objective of the Convention is to deliberate on the existing real estate scenario and prepare road map for various legislative, regulatory, administrative and financial reforms. The thrust of the Convention would be on promoting inclusive development of real estate sector, apart from discussing the various aspects associated with the Housing for All by 2022 scheme of the government.

 Addressing the press conference organised to announce NAREDCO’s 13th National Conference, Mr. Rajeev Talwar, Chairman, NAREDCO, said, “As  per few demographic trends, with more than one crore population getting added to urban areas every year, India’s urban population is expected to reach about 81 crore by 2050. Housing, a basic need for human being, would play an important role in accelerating urban growth in India. Within urban housing, it is the affordable housing which would be more in demand in future. The central government has already realised this issue and is targeting 6 crore houses – 2 crore in urban areas and 4 crore in rural areas by 2022, with a view to provide housing to all by 2022.
 
The Convention will provide an opportunity to all stake holders to deliberate on the challenges before the sector in achieving this target and evolve strategies to accelerate the pace of growth.”
 
Mr. Parveen Jain, President, NAREDCO, said, “In addition, at a time, when the confidence of stake holders, especially investors, has dented because of half-hearted and slow policy reforms and sluggish economy, the Convention would serve as the right platform to discuss the future strategies to give fillip to the sector through regulatory and financial reforms.”
