Homestead allocation –
Assessment and Pilot
• Assessment in 88 sample villages in 10
districts - pilot in 36 villages in 3 districts
– People did not receive patta to current house
sites, unwilling to relocate, allotted house sites
are not identified or demarcated
– About 40% of households do not have secured
rights over homestead land (either not included
in Vasundhara and not living on allotted land)
– Acute revenue staffs shortage - paucity of time
to undertake fresh enumeration to assess the
extent of homesteadlessness

Homestead allocation –
Assessment and Pilot
• Identify and build local capacities to support
field level revenue officials to initiate fresh
enumeration of homesteadless-ness
• A local capacity is a literate youth from the
village/GP – willing to work for the
community and carries its confidence
• Provides the much needed additional
support to the Revenue Inspector to
expedite allocation through developing a
village inventory on homesteadless-ness

Homestead allocation –
Assessment and Pilot
• On an average in a village, about 20 % of all
households are homesteadless and are eligible for
allocation of homestead land
• In the pilot villages, CRPs are able to identify about
1270 homesteadless households
• Average cost per allocation about 150/INR average time taken by CRP per allocation 2 days
• Leasable households are roughly 30%, rest being
objectionable land requires varied degrees of
revenue intervention

supplementary food and income, nutritional
security, boosts family and women’s status and
improved standard of living

Indira Awas Yojana…issues needing attention
• Study in 10 districts on Vasundhara – 80% patta holders have
not relocated to the plot as they haven’t seen the land
• When families didn’t have access to allotted land, they have
constructed house on their existing plot that is mostly
objectionale land
• Housing as an incentive/mechanism to reduce
homesteadlessness – though families are ready to relocate but
are without housing (IAY)
• Though homestead patta is a condition for getting IAY, there is
no link between Vasundhara program and IAY
• Low coverage – about 12% (200 out of 1664)
• Of the remaining, about 60% are BPL who could access IAY LP
2009
• Mo Kudia numbers are very less needs additional budget
allocation to address the remianing
