Lucknow/Greater Noida: In a significant step towards enhancing professionalism and accountability in the real estate sector, the Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP-RERA) has launched its 37th Real Estate Agent Training Programme. The four-day training began on Monday at the NIET campus in Greater Noida, in collaboration with Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University, Kanpur.
A total of 51 participants from various districts of Uttar Pradesh are attending the programme, aiming to become certified and registered real estate agents under the regulatory framework.

He highlighted that participants will receive comprehensive and practical knowledge of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA), along with associated rules and regulations. The initiative aims to ensure that real estate agents operate in strict compliance with legal provisions while safeguarding consumer interests.
Addressing Sectoral Challenges
Verma noted that longstanding challenges in the real estate sector have adversely affected promoters, agents, and homebuyers alike. The establishment of RERA was intended to address these issues by promoting transparency, accountability, and consumer protection.
