The Urban Regeneration Project encompasses 528 houses, with 384 currently occupied by relocated families from underprivileged urban settlements. Despite having permanent homes, these residents face social-economic challenges as they adapt to a new lifestyle.\n\nThe Agromart Outreach Foundation submitted a proposal for a multilateral project under the Ministry of Women and Child Affairs, which will provide policy guidance and administrative sponsorship.
