Omkar Foundation Step Towards Inclusive Redevelopment

Omkar Realtors & Developers journey which started way back in 2003 is especially focused on inclusive redevelopment for the betterment of Mumbai city and all its stakeholders through slum redevelopment. With this prime agenda Omkar, over the years, has managed to emerge as a role model for inclusive and progressive redevelopment in city’s slum rehabilitation space. An estimated 7-8 million of Mumbai’s resident population is today living in denials facing extremely challenging circumstance. This Vision of Omkar has helped in transforming the lives of over 50,000 residents for whom living in slums was like a bad dream being transformed into improved living conditions. Another 1,00,000 residents from different slums across Mumbai are going to witness the change in their lives soon which is in sync with Omkar’s belief in the doctrine of inclusive redevelopment as a progressive solution to make Mumbai a slum-free and highly habitable city.

Understanding the importance of inclusive redevelopment Omkar Realtors CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) arm Omkar Foundation also is committed to the society. Largely concentrating on inclusive “Redevelopment” of the inhabitants of slums in this maximum city. The said initiative encompasses a host of CSR programs in social, health, education, women empowerment, skill building & vocational training programs.
