Regularization of buildings of Educational Institutions under G.O.76, Theni District
The Housing and Urban Development Department register for Theni District records decisions on applications for regularization of educational institution buildings under Government Order 76, dated 14 June 2018. It lists 51 institutions, with 12 receiving concurrence, 35 being rejected, one remaining pending, and three entries stating only that a hard copy was not received.
What the register covers
The Housing and Urban Development Department register records the status of 51 applications from schools, colleges and other educational institutions in Theni District under Government Order 76, dated 14 June 2018. For each institution, it provides an online application number, an application date and, where available, the proceeding that granted concurrence or rejected the application.
This is an institution specific status register. It does not state that every building belonging to an institution has been regularized, and it does not provide property addresses, survey numbers or building descriptions.
Recorded outcomes
The Theni District register shows the following results:
- 12 applications received concurrence through separate proceedings.
- 35 applications were rejected.
- The application of Nadar Saraswathi College of Engineering and Technology is recorded as pending in the Head Office Special Cell.
- The entries for S.K.A. College of Education and S.K.A. Teacher Training Institute for Women, Ramakrishnan Chandra Charitable and Educational Trust, and College of Agricultural Technology state that a hard copy was not received, without recording concurrence or rejection.

Reasons recorded for rejection
The register gives several reasons for rejected applications:
- The site lies in HACA.
- The site lies in a Planning Area.
- The applicant did not produce documents stipulated in Government Order 76.
- A hard copy was not received.
Some rejection entries identify only the proceeding and date without adding another reason.
Who should check the register
Property buyers, owners and professionals dealing with a site occupied by one of the named educational institutions should check the institution name, online application number and proceeding details carefully. A concurrence entry and a rejected entry can exist for different applications from the same or similarly named institution. The register alone does not identify the exact land or building covered, so the relevant proceeding and property records would be needed to match an outcome to a particular property.
