UP RERA launches 20th Real Estate Agent Training Program at Gautam Buddha Nagar

Lucknow/Gautam Buddha Nagar, September 11, 2025: The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP RERA) started its 20th Real Estate Agent Training Program at Gautam Buddha Nagar on Wednesday. The four-day training has 44 participants and marks another milestone in UP RERA’s mission to build transparency, accountability, and professionalism in the real estate sector of the state.

The program was inaugurated by Founding Chairman of UP RERA Rajive Kumar who emphasized the vital role real estate agents play in strengthening the sector. In his keynote address, he highlighted the immense potential of the real estate industry, which currently contributes 6–7 per cent to India’s GDP. He added, “If we succeed in doubling this contribution to around 12 per cent in the coming years, it will be a remarkable achievement. Agents are at the heart of this transformation since they act as a bridge between the home buyers and promoters. This training will be a milestone for real estate agents because comprehensive and correct knowledge of core disciplines is essential for them to perform their functions properly and efficiently.”

Kumar further underlined that the root-cause analysis of grievances registered with RERA often points to a lack of non-supply of accurate and clear information to the allottees by the agents. He noted, “Such training programs provide clarity to agents, enabling them to pass on verified information to consumers. In turn, this builds trust and reduces disputes in the sector.”

The inaugural session was attended by senior officers of NCR Office of UP RERA. Senior officers from the Lucknow Head Office participated through video conferencing. Secretary Mahendra Verma welcomed the chief guest and outlined the objectives of the training, he said, “Real estate agents are the first point of contact for most homebuyers.
