What the government approved
G.O.(Ms.) No.172 of the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (SGS.1) Department, dated 14 November 2024, sanctions Rs.75 crore for the Kalaignarin Kanavu Illam Scheme during 2024-2025.

The scheme had already received administrative sanction of Rs.3,100 crore for constructing 1,00,000 new houses. The approved assistance is Rs.3,10,000 for each house.
Funding position
The Kalaignarin Kanavu Illam Scheme had received Rs.225 crore from the Rs.300 crore budget provision before this release. According to the Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, that amount had been exhausted.
Key funding details are:
- An earlier financial sanction allowed Rs.150 crore, representing 50 per cent of the budget provision, to be drawn.
- A further Rs.75 crore, representing 25 per cent, was sanctioned later.
- G.O.(Ms.) No.172 sanctions the remaining Rs.75 crore, bringing the releases from the stated Rs.300 crore budget provision to the full amount.
- Separate orders are to be issued for any further sanction of additional funds.
The Rs.75 crore release was permitted by relaxing the Quarterly Control of Appropriation system. The relaxation was also updated in the online Quarterly Control of Appropriation module of the Integrated Financial and Human Resources Management System to facilitate bill drawal.

The Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj is authorised to draw the sanctioned Rs.75 crore and distribute it to the districts. The Director must ensure proper use of the money, submit progress reports to the Government, closely monitor construction and ensure that work quality meets the applicable norms.
All districts had sanctioned houses against the targets communicated by the Government. A total of 1,00,000 houses were sanctioned, and the houses were reported to be under construction at various stages.
