G.O. Ms. No.146, Allocation of the Subject Special Initiatives to Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Department, 2006
The Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (CSS) Department issued G.O. Ms. No.146, dated 2 November 2006, directing that “Special Initiatives” be included in the First Schedule of the Tamil Nadu Government Business Rules under Concurrent Subjects. It allocates government responsibility for special initiative projects and does not create any property-specific land right, restriction or approval in the supplied text.
What the document does
G.O. Ms. No.146 of the Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (CSS) Department places the subject “Special Initiatives” under Concurrent Subjects in the First Schedule of the Tamil Nadu Government Business Rules. The order records that the Government examined how this subject should be included in the Business Rules and decided that it should be treated separately from any individual project.
The direction was issued by order of the Governor and signed by the Chief Secretary to Government. A separate amendment to the Tamil Nadu Government Business Rules was to be issued by the Personnel and Administrative Reforms (A) Department.
Background and reasoning
G.O. Ms. No.146 refers to two earlier government orders. The first renamed the Planning and Development Department as the Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Department so that it could pursue special initiative projects in consultation with the relevant administrative departments of the Secretariat. The second amended the Business Rules to reflect that renamed department.
The Government gave the following reasons for the new allocation:
- “Special Initiatives” is a distinct administrative subject, separate from any particular initiative.
- A matter may begin as a special initiative and later become a normal subject assigned to a specific department.
- Special initiatives may concern either Concurrent Subjects or State subjects.
- The subject is therefore included under Concurrent Subjects in the Business Rules.
Who it affects
G.O. Ms. No.146 primarily affects the allocation of work within the Government of Tamil Nadu. Copies were sent to Secretariat departments, heads of departments, all District Collectors and several other public authorities.
Property buyers, owners and land professionals are not given any new duty or entitlement by the supplied text. The order does not identify land parcels, change land use, set a fee, approve a development or alter an ownership record. Its relevance is administrative, because a government project described as a special initiative may be handled by the Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Department in consultation with the appropriate administrative department.
