The Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (SGS.1) Department issued Government Order (Ms.) No. 125 on 5 August 2024, permitting the release of Rs.150 crore for the Kalaignarin Kanavu Illam Scheme for 2024-25.

What the government order does
Government Order (Ms.) No. 125 of the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (SGS.1) Department releases part of the budget provision for the Kalaignarin Kanavu Illam Scheme. An earlier government order had given administrative sanction for Rs.3,100 crore to construct 1,00,000 new houses during 2024-25, at Rs.3,10,000 for each house.
The Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj requested release of the Rs.300 crore provided in the 2024-25 budget. After examining the request, the Government permitted Rs.150 crore to be drawn. This represents 50 per cent of that budget provision.
