        The Real Estate Regulatory Authority
        (RERA) was formed to fulfill the dream
        of the middle class to own a house and
        to ensure that the investment made after
        earning a lifetime is legally protected.
        This protects the rights of the home
        buyers, so the developers are also bound
        to pay compensation for the delay or
        any other violation. While democratizing
        connectivity increased, there was a huge
        jump in the network readiness index.
