Center for Habitat, Urban and Regional Studies (CHURS)

The IMPRI Center for Habitat, Urban and Regional Studies (CHURS) aims to offer periodic research feedback on monitoring, evaluation, and implementation of the ongoing schemes pertaining to sustainable habitat, human settlements, built environment, housing and infrastructural development and urban development, having knowledge of both emerging technologies and of social-engineering. While addressing the immediate needs of the new and current schemes, the focus is also on medium and long term issues. CHURS, through its impactful contribution and significant collaboration, will act as a fundamental intellectual unit towards the issues of Housing and Urban Policy Affairs and ultimately the creation of 21st Century New India.
