At present, around 3 crore workers are engaged in construction activities across real estate projects in the country. The pact aims to cover around 10 lakh workers under this initiative in a year. All CREDAI chapters across various states will be covered under this agreement. The real estate developers’ body will coordinate with contractors to ensure effective implementation of this programme.
