The Government of Tamil Nadu, Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (SPC) Department, issued Government Order (Ms.) Number 133, dated 7 June 2021, to reconstitute the State Development Policy Council with immediate effect and appoint its members. The order concerns the membership of a state advisory body and does not state any change to land ownership, registration, planning permission or revenue records.
What the order does
Government Order (Ms.) Number 133, dated 7 June 2021, from the Government of Tamil Nadu, Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (SPC) Department, reconstitutes the State Development Policy Council with immediate effect. The council is described as an advisory body that makes recommendations to the Government on matters concerning the development of Tamil Nadu.
An earlier government order had replaced the Tamil Nadu State Planning Commission with the State Development Policy Council and assigned functions to it. Government Order (Ms.) Number 133 changes the council's composition by naming its chairman, vice chairman, full-time member, part-time members and ex-officio members.
Council composition
The reconstituted State Development Policy Council consists of:
- The Chief Minister as chairman.
- Dr. J. Jeyaranjan as vice chairman.
- Professor R. Srinivasan as full-time member.
- Eight part-time members, Professor M. Vijayabaskar, Professor Sultan Ahmed Ismail, K. Deenabandu, T.R.B. Rajaa, Mallika Srinivasan, Dr. J. Amalorpavanathan, Dr. G. Sivaraman and Narthaki Nataraj.
- Two ex-officio members, the Additional Chief Secretary to Government, Finance Department, and the Additional Chief Secretary to Government, Planning and Development Department.
The Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (SPC) Department states that the terms and conditions of the appointments will be issued separately. Those terms and conditions are not included in the document.
Relevance to property and land matters
Government Order (Ms.) Number 133 is an administrative appointment order for a state-level policy advisory body. It does not set out procedures, rights or restrictions relating to:
- Land ownership or transfer.
- Patta or other revenue records.
- Property registration.
- Land classification or change of land use.
- Planning permission or building approval.
- Rates, fees or charges affecting property.
Property buyers, owners and professionals therefore do not receive any specific land-related obligation or entitlement from the document. The State Development Policy Council may advise the Government on development matters, but the document does not describe any particular recommendation or decision affecting an identified property or area.
