The sixth edition of The Hindu Home Expo got off to an encouraging response at Lulu Mall on Saturday.
Inaugurating the two-day event presented by CERA and powered by Canara Bank, Union Minister of State for External Affairs and Parliamentary Affairs V. Muraleedharan credited The Hindu Group for organising the expo which, he said, is in line with Central government’s policy of protecting the interests of the consumers as well as the builders and other stakeholders in the construction industry.
Highlighting the success achieved by Central schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana that was beneficial to nearly 3 lakh people in the State and 3.3 crore people across the country during the last nine years, Mr. Muraleedharan said the Centre has also made focused interventions to bring down interest rates for housing loans with an eye on the welfare of the middle class.
