Construction of one crore proposed houses will cost Rs 81,975 crore . Identification of beneficiaries for the assistance will be done on the basis of Socio Economic and Caste Census data. Funds will be transferred directly to the account of the beneficiary. It will run parallel to the the existing Indira Awaas Yojana.

It will strengthen relations between the two countries and pave the way for bilateral cooperation on skill development.

In an another decision, the Cabinet gave its ex-post facto approval for a MoU between India and the UAE to mobilise long term investment into the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund. It has also approved MoU between India and Lithuania for cooperation in the field of agriculture. Meanwhile, Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, CCEA has cleared doubling of Kiul-Gaya Railway line of 124 kilometres costing Rs 1354.22 crore. The project will be completed by 2019-2020. CCEA has also approved doubling of the Ranchi (Hatia) Railway line of 158.5 kilometres to be completed within next six year. The project will cost Rs 1921.94 crore. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has given its approval for extension of time period of the Scheme Special Industry Initiative for J&K Udaan till 2019-20. Initially the time period of Udaan was upto 2015-16.
