The Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Land Reforms Wing, issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 115 dated 14 March 2024, granting Tvl. Sishya Educational Trust permission under section 37-B of the Tamil Nadu Land Reforms (Fixation of Ceiling on Land) Act, 1961 to hold 31.40 acres in Mugalur and Hosur Villages, Hosur Taluk, for educational purposes. The permission restricts sale, requires the remaining 5.03 acres to be used within three years, and may be cancelled if its conditions are breached.
What the government approved
G.O. (Ms.) No. 115 of the Revenue and Disaster Management Department, Land Reforms Wing, permits Tvl. Sishya Educational Trust to hold 31.40 acres for educational purposes. The government accepted the recommendation of the Principal Secretary and Commissioner of Land Reforms and condoned a delay of 2,616 days in submitting the application in Form-38.
The Trust had originally requested permission for 31.77 acres. Verification of sale deeds and village accounts found 31.40 acres in its name, comprising 29.97 acres in Mugalur Village and 1.43 acres in Hosur Village. Pattas had been issued in the Trust's name, and the District Revenue Officer reported that no poramboke land had been encroached.
Land and educational use
The permission covers:
- 29.97 acres across 12 listed survey numbers in Mugalur Village.
- 1.43 acres in Hosur Village, now falling under Town Survey Number 46, Block 29, Ward D.
- A total permitted extent of 31.40 acres.
The Trust operates Sishya CBSE School and Sishya Play School. Of the permitted land, 26.37 acres had been utilised. The Trust proposed to use the remaining 5.03 acres for future construction of staff quarters.
The main text identifies the land as being in Krishnagiri District. However, Annexure-I prints the district as Kanniyakumari while also identifying Hosur Taluk and Mugalur and Hosur Villages. Readers checking title or survey records should note this inconsistency in the supplied document.
