Government Splits Housing Ministry into Capital and Urban Development Departments
The Indian government has reorganized the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs into two separate departments: the Department of Capital Development, focusing on Delhi and the National Capital Region's infrastructure and government properties, and the Department of Urban Development, responsible for national urban policies, housing schemes, climate adaptation, and flagship programs like AMRUT and Swachh Bharat Mission. This restructuring aims to provide dedicated attention to Delhi-NCR while maintaining oversight of broader urban development initiatives nationwide. Key appointments for the new departments have also been made.
