According to the SRA, the advanced support centre has been designed to streamline verification processes and enhance the efficiency of rehabilitation-related operations. The digital infrastructure is expected to reduce administrative delays while improving security and accuracy in handling beneficiary information.
The initiative reflects the agency’s continued focus on adopting technology to make governance more accessible and accountable for citizens connected with rehabilitation projects across Mumbai.
House Keys Distributed to Rehabilitation Beneficiaries
A major highlight of the event was the distribution of permanent house keys to more than 50 beneficiaries under the slum rehabilitation programme. In the presence of SRA Chief Executive Officer Dr. Mahendra Kalyankar, Salman personally handed over the keys to families who have successfully completed the rehabilitation process.

Coffee Table Book Showcases SRA’s Journey
Salman also unveiled the SRA Coffee Table Book, a publication prepared to document the organization’s achievements, major rehabilitation projects, operational framework, and stories of families who have benefited from its programmes.
The book offers an overview of the authority’s work over the years and is intended to serve as a valuable resource for government agencies, urban development professionals, stakeholders, and members of the public interested in understanding Mumbai’s rehabilitation initiatives.
