CREDAI has provided skill development to more than 3 lakh workers, he said.
Calling for aligning skill development with the specific needs of workers, he said that the focus should be on making workers skilled.
By 2047, 50 per cent of the country's population will be urban, he said.
Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) has played a crucial role in smoothing developers’ operations, contributing to protecting homebuyers’ interests, ensuring transparent transactions and improving construction quality, said Shah.
