Around 468 acres of land belonging to the merged Government of India printing presses will be redeveloped for construction of affordable housing, government offices and buildings, Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri said on Monday.
The Cabinet in its meeting held in September last year had approved rationalisation/merger and modernisation of 17 Government of India Presses (GIPs)/Government of India text book presses/units into five Government of India Presses (GIPs) at Rashtrapati Bhavan, Minto Road and Mayapuri, New Delhi; Nashik, Maharashtra and Temple Street, Kolkata, West Bengal.
