Tamil Nadu Government Announce ”Kalaignar Housing Scheme” For Poor Peoples

The Tamil Nadu government today announced a series of new welfare measures and schemes including houses for those living in huts, a “mega” housing project to convert 22 lakh mud-walled dwelling units of the poor people into concrete houses free of cost over a six-year period.

The Scheme named ”Kalaignar Housing Scheme”, after Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, envisages an initial investment of Rs 1,800 crore to construct three lakh permanent houses in the coming financial year, Governor Surjit Singh Barnala said in his customary address to the state Assembly.

The scheme, ‘Kalaignar Housing Scheme,’ will commence in the coming financial year, 2010-2011. In the first year, three lakh permanent houses will be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 1,800 crore.

The Karunanidhi-led government has already executed a free Colour TV scheme and the Kalaignar Insurance Scheme, offering free medical treatment up to a sum of Rs one lakh for persons with an annual income of Rs 72,000 or less, in corporate hospitals to one crore families.

Based on a demand made by Adi Dravidar entrepreneurs to waive the non-farm sector loans they had availed from the Tamil Nadu Adi Dravidar Housing and Development Corporation (TAHDCO), the government has decided to accept their request.
