Lady luck is set to swing the odds in favour of women in the MHADA housing lottery.

In a bid to empower women, the Maharashtra Housing And Area Development Authority has proposed to reserve 33 per cent homes for the homemaker starting with the next lottery. According to a senior MHADA officer involved in the drafting of the proposal, the housing authority is sending the proposal to the government, to have roughly a third of the houses for women, in each category in the forthcoming lottery reserved for women.
