The Tripura Housing Board (Amendment) Act, 2007 expands the scope and administrative structure of the Tripura Housing Board by renaming it the Tripura Housing and Construction Board. Placed under the administrative control of the Public Works Department, the Board's responsibilities broaden beyond residential housing to include diverse infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, schools, and hospitals across Tripura. It establishes new governance structures, financial contract limits, budget approval mechanisms, and state government oversight powers. By consolidating public construction and housing development under a single specialized body, this legislation aims to improve efficiency in executing public works projects and improving civic amenities.
