PM-UDAY

PM-UDAY, or Pradhan Mantri Unauthorised Colonies in Delhi Awas Adhikar Yojana, is a governance framework designed to grant ownership or transfer rights to residents of unauthorised colonies in the national capital by regularising their land status.

Why it matters

  • Provides legal recognition and property titles to residents, facilitating access to formal credit and banking services.
  • Enables the systematic planning and provision of essential civic infrastructure and public utilities in previously unserviced areas.
  • Reduces legal uncertainty and property disputes by integrating informal settlements into the formal urban land registry system.

How it is asked

Focus on the intersection of urban governance, land rights, and the challenges of formalising informal urban settlements within the context of sustainable city planning.
