G.O.Ms.No. 93, Amendment to Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board Community Development Service Rules, 1993
The Housing and Urban Development (SC2(2)) Department issued Government Order G.O.Ms.No. 93, dated 9 June 2014, containing an amendment made by the Governor of Tamil Nadu to the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board Community Development Service Rules, 1993. It replaces the qualifications table in rule 6 for three community development posts in the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board and does not change land ownership, planning permission or property rights.
What the amendment does
Government Order G.O.Ms.No. 93 of the Housing and Urban Development (SC2(2)) Department substitutes a new qualifications table in rule 6 of the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board Community Development Service Rules, 1993. The notification was made under the Tamil Nadu Slum Areas (Improvement and Clearance) Act, 1971 and was directed to be published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette.
The replacement table covers three categories of posts:
- Chief Community Development Officer: Must hold a Master's Degree in Social Work from a recognised university and have at least ten years of experience in urban community organisation or development.
- Community Development Officer: Must hold a Master's Degree in Social Work from a recognised university. The person must also have at least five years of experience as a Community Officer in the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board, or in social service in a government department or registered non-governmental organisation.
- Community Officer: Must hold a Master's Degree in Social Work from a recognised university and have at least two years of experience in social welfare in a government department or registered non-governmental organisation.
Who is affected
The amended Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board Community Development Service Rules directly affect candidates seeking appointment to the listed posts and the officials responsible for recruitment or service administration in the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board. Existing staff may also need to refer to the substituted table where qualification requirements under rule 6 are relevant to their service position.
Relevance to property owners and buyers
Government Order G.O.Ms.No. 93 is an employment qualification amendment within the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board's community development service. It does not state any change to land classification, title, ownership, acquisition, transfer, building approval or development rights.
A property buyer, owner or land professional would therefore not use this notification as evidence of title or as authority for a land transaction. Its practical subject is staffing qualifications for community development roles within the Board.
