• Relying upon IAY alone will take over 30 Years to
clear the backlog.
Kalaignar Housing Scheme
• As an add-on to IAY, and much larger in scope and
scale.
• Tamil Nadu – the first hut-free State in the country by
2016.
• By far the largest State-funded Scheme, with an
annual outlay of Rs.2,250 crores (3,00,000 houses).
• 2nd largest Scheme implemented by the State, next
only to MGNREGS-TN with a labour budget of Rs.2900
crores.
Kalaignar Housing Scheme
(contd.)
• Replacing all Huts with Thatched Roof, irrespective
of the type of the wall, with permanent houses over
a 6-year period, 2011-16.
• Only huts with proper title – liberal interpretation
of title
• In situ construction; alternative sites also provided.
• About 200 square feet, RCC roof, and separate toilet –
Rs.75,000 unit cost.
Points to Ponder
• Should selection of beneficiary depend on BPL Status (like
IAY),
OR
on Status of Housing?
• Estimate of Huts,
OR
Enumeration of all Huts?
Points to Ponder
(contd.)
• Allocation to one-sixth of the Village Panchayats each year,
covering all the huts in these Village Panchayats,
OR
Allocation to all Village Panchayats, covering one-sixth of
the Huts?
• Selection of beneficiary – by the Village Panchayat,
OR
Rule-based?
Enumeration of all Huts
• Need to freeze number and list of huts as on the cutoff date (1.1.2010).
• Pilot Survey conducted @ one Village Panchayat per
Block (385 Blocks) in the State.
• Main Survey in all Village Panchayats in the State.
• Conducted during April – May, 2010.
Enumeration of all Huts
(contd.)
• 3-member Enumeration Team, comprised of:
– Village Administrative Officer;
– Makkal Nala Paniyalar; and
– Village Panchayat Assistant.
• Enumeration as a ‘team’, not individually.
• 3-member team mandatory.
• Super-checking Official: Deputy BDO / Deputy
Tahsildar/ equivalent.
Enumeration of all Huts
(contd.)
• Intensive cascaded training
– State level : Collectors, District Revenue Officers,
Project Directors, DRDA.
– District level : Deputy Collectors, Assistant
Directors, Tahsildars, BDOs as Master Trainers.
– Block level : Enumeration Teams and Super-
checking officials.
Enumeration of all Huts
(contd.)
• Enumeration Register capturing

• Enumeration guidelines printed in each Register for
ready reference.
• Signature of the resident taken.

Enumeration Team, Super-checking Official
independently.
Enumeration of all Huts
(contd.)
• Best Practices
– ‘Vetting’ of Enumeration Registers after one day of

eligibility as determined by the Enumeration Team,
and eligibility as determined by the Software.

2nd round of Field Verification
• Photograph of every hut with the resident standing in
front, holding a board containing a new door number
and serial number in the Enumeration Register.
• Photograph affixed on software-generated
Application-cum-Verification form, and signature of
resident taken.
• Collection of copies of title deed and other documents.
Role of Information
Technology
• Web-based Software developed with the assistance of
NIC.
• Stage 1: All entries from the Enumeration Registers
entered into the KHS Database.
– Distributed web-based data entry from 385 Blocks.
• Stage 2: Onscreen Comparison and Confirmation, to
ensure that the Database is an exact replica of the
Enumeration Registers
Role of Information
Technology (contd.)
• Generation of Application-cum-Verification Forms for
2nd Round of Field Visits.
• Generation of list of beneficiaries.
• Generation of individual work orders.
• Generation of lists of huts for follow-up action, like
issue of pattas etc.
Allocation of Permanent
Houses
• To each Village Panchayat: a fixed component of
10 houses, plus a variable component in proportion to
number of Eligible Huts.
• Variable Component: to allot houses in proportion
to the demand.
• Fixed Component: so that Village Panchayats with
few huts can be covered completely in the first or
second year itself.
Allocation of Permanent
Houses (contd.)
• Within each Village Panchayat : Sub-allocation to
each Community (ST,SC,MBC,BC,OC) in proportion to
the number of Eligible Huts.
– To ensure inter-Community equity.
– IAY: 60% of Houses allotted to SCs/STs, causing
heart-burn to non-SC/STs.
Allocation of Permanent
Houses (contd.)
• Within each Community : Habitations arranged in
descending order of number of Eligible Huts of the
Community, and sub-allocation of permanent houses
done.
– To ensure certainty and transparency in the priority
of selection.
– Systematic coverage of the habitations with more
number of huts, for greater impact and ease of
implementation.
Selection of Beneficiaries
• Within each Habitation : A simple, fair, transparent
and automatic process for selection of beneficiaries.
• Beneficiaries selected in ascending order of
Door Number as per the May 2009
Parliamentary Electoral Roll.
• Selection of all 3 lakh beneficiaries done using the
Software specially developed by NIC.
• If selection had not been done in this manner –
political bickering, litigation, delays of 3 to 6 months.
Issue of Work Orders
• List of Eligible Huts generated by the Software, and
placed before Grama Sabha for information on
15.8.2010 and 22.8.2010.
• Work Orders generated by the Software, and issued
to the beneficiaries from 26.8.2010.
Construction of Houses
• Implemented by RD & PR Department.
• Construction by Beneficiaries themselves.
• Cement, Steel– supplied Departmentally.
• 60 bags of cement, 155 kg steel.
• Bricks
– co-ordinated by Collectors.
– Firm orders – lead to reduced prices.
– Additional Brick Kilns by SHGs.
• Sand - Additional Quarries opened in each Block
exclusively for the Scheme.
Construction of Houses
(contd.)
• Masons
– Mason apprentices trained under various Schemes.
• Measurements taken by Overseers (Basement, Lintel
level, Roof Laid stage and upon Completion).
• Bills passes at Block Offices.
• Payments done to beneficiaries’ Bank Accounts by the
Village Panchayats.
KHS House model
The Next Steps
• Issue of Eligibility card to all Eligible Huts to be
covered over the next 5 years
• Huts put up on Government poramboke lands –
House site as well as permanent house to be
allotted
