Centre today announced a number of projects -- a football stadium, a cycle sharing project, 13 community halls and a cultural centre - for Dwarka, a sub-city of the national capital.
"We are going to implement cycle sharing project in Dwarka. This is for the first time such a project is being implemented in India," Union Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said here.
The minister said that cycling was very good for health and the centre has specially worked out this project keeping in mind a congested city like Delhi.
"With the implementation of cycle sharing project, people don't need to buy a cycle. All what they will have to do is just to take a cycle for their destination and leave it at a particular stand. Thereafter, another person can use the same cycle. We will also construct cycling tracks in Dwarka," Naidu said.
Central government has also plans to construct a football stadium for youths and several community halls in Dwarka.
"We have also decided to construct 13 community halls and a football stadium in the sub-city. Besides, we will also construct a cultural centre like Habitat Centre here," he added.
Naidu said Narendra Modi-led government had brought the inflation rate under control.
"In ten years, the prices of petrol and diesel used to be increased every month during the regime of UPA government. Since the Modi-led government has come, the prices of petrol and diesel have not been increased. The inflation rate has also started coming down," Naidu said.
"In the coming days, every citizen or family will have a house by 2022, which is the aim of Modi's government and my ministry is working towards this," he added.
