The Ministry of Urban Development and HUDCO had decided to launch a national programme of settingup a network of building centres all over the country for promoting innovative cost-effective technologiesand training artisans. Most importantly, they would offer affordable housing solutions.

These building centres were expected to be autonomous societies under the managerial control of acombination of public institutions and professionals.

HUDCO initiated a dialogue with DDA (Delhi Development Authority) - Slum Wing, to collaborate insetting up a building centre in Delhi in order to improve its own perceptions and to create a model, wherevisitors from various states in India could get inspired. The Slum Wing made land available in Sarai KaleyKhan, Nizamuddin. The Nizamuddin building centre was developed on this site.
