Odisha has won the UN-Habitat's World Habitat Awards 2023 for Jaga Mission, a 5T initiative of the state.
Jaga mission is the world's largest land titling and slum upgrading program which aims at empowering the lives of slum dwellers.
The Govt. of Odisha in May 2018 launched JAGA Mission based on the Odisha Land Rights to Slum Dwellers Act, 2017”.
Since the last five years of the initiative, about 1,75,000 families from different slums have been granted land tenure security. Under Jaga Mission, 100 per cent of households in 2,724 slums have been provided with piped water connections, 707 slums have been fully transformed into livable habitats, 100 per cent of households in 666 slums have individual toilets and eight cities have become slum-free.
Earlier in 2019, Odisha's Jaga mission had received World Habitat Awards for its success in providing land tenure security to the slum dwellers.
