What the document does
The Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (SGS.1) Department, through G.O. (Ms) No.31 dated 26 February 2024, approves implementation of Anaithu Grama Anna Marumalarchi Thittam-II for 2024-25. It grants administrative sanction of Rs.1,147.28 crore and attaches detailed implementation guidelines.
The programme seeks holistic village development through human, social, economic and environmental development, social security and good governance. It treats each habitation as a distinct social and economic unit when identifying infrastructure needs.
Coverage and funding
Anaithu Grama Anna Marumalarchi Thittam-II for 2024-25 applies to 13,117 habitations in 2,482 Village Panchayats. Its approved funding is:
- State Fund, Rs.250 crore.
- Capital Grant Fund, State, Rs.470 crore.
- Scheme Component of Pooled Assigned Revenue, Rs.250 crore.
- Local Body contribution, Rs.177.28 crore.
- Total, Rs.1,147.28 crore.
The Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj must submit progress reports on implementation to the Government.
How funds and needs are assessed
The Anaithu Grama Anna Marumalarchi Thittam-II guidelines explain that Village Panchayats differ significantly in population and number of habitations. Equal funding for every Panchayat could therefore produce unequal development and an uneven distribution of assets.
Population and habitation numbers are identified as the basic criteria for balanced fund allocation. The population classification uses the 2011 Census. The guidelines record 12,525 Village Panchayats across 37 districts, ranging from Panchayats with populations of 500 or below to those with populations above 10,000. They also classify Panchayats by habitation count, from below five habitations to above 25.
Infrastructure relevance
The scheme is intended to address new and previously unmet village infrastructure needs caused by population growth and additional settlements or streets. It also aims for comprehensive coverage of habitations by bringing together existing schemes.
Earlier components described in the guidelines include:
- Rejuvenation of ponds.
- Rural libraries with furniture and books.
- Creation or improvement of burial grounds and cremation sheds.
- Community or school sports centres.

Common questions
Does G.O. (Ms) No.31 change ownership or title to my land?
The supplied text grants scheme funding and sets implementation guidelines. It does not identify individual properties or state that private land ownership or title is changed.
How many Village Panchayats are covered during 2024-25?
Anaithu Grama Anna Marumalarchi Thittam-II is approved for 2,482 Village Panchayats covering 13,117 habitations during 2024-25.
What types of village facilities can the scheme support?
The guidelines describe major components including pond rejuvenation, rural libraries, burial grounds or cremation sheds, and community or school sports centres.
Are all Village Panchayats given the same allocation?
The guidelines say equal allocations could create disparities because Panchayats differ in population and habitation count. Population and number of habitations are therefore treated as basic criteria for balanced fund allocation.
