What the government order does
G.O.(MS) No.10 dated 27 January 2025 sanctions Rs.108.71 crore for expenditure under the housing component of the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan, known as PM-JANMAN. The sanction is based on construction progress and covers required expenditure up to March 2025.
The expenditure is treated as a new service. Legislative approval will be obtained later. Until then, the Commissioner of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj must calculate the amount required up to the next Supplementary Estimates and apply to the Finance Department for an advance from the Contingency Fund.
Who may be affected
PM-JANMAN housing may be sanctioned to households belonging to six Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group communities:
- Irulas
- Kattunayakkans
- Kotas

- Paniyans
- Todas
Housing sanctions had commenced in 21 districts of Tamil Nadu. The source records 13,547 households identified as eligible, including 3,010 landless households and 10,537 households holding patta. Of the patta-holding households, 6,269 houses had been sanctioned and were at different construction stages.
For identifying Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group households under PM-JANMAN, only two automatic exclusion criteria apply:

Housing targets and financial support
The Government of India fixed a target of 4,811 houses for 2023-24 and 6,885 houses for 2024-25, giving a total target of 11,696 houses. The Government of India unit cost is Rs.2 lakh per house, shared between the central and state governments in a 60:40 ratio.
Earlier Tamil Nadu orders fixed the estimated house cost, including the Government of India unit cost, at:
- Rs.5.07 lakh for a house in plains

Among the 6,269 sanctioned houses, 5,340 were in plains and 929 were in hills. The recorded immediate state support requirement was Rs.82.20 crore, calculated from progress at basement, lintel, roof, plastering and completion stages.
Administration of the funds
G.O.(MS) No.10 authorises the Commissioner of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj to draw and disburse the sanctioned amount through the relevant head of account and transfer it to the PM-JANMAN State Nodal Account. The Commissioner must also submit explanatory notes for including the expenditure in the Supplementary Estimates for 2024-2025.
