What the government order does
G.O. (Ms.) No. 17 of the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (CGS.2) Department authorises the release of Rs.27 crore for 2018 to 2019 as the first instalment of Critical Gap Fund for three Phase III clusters under the National Rurban Mission. The Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj is authorised to draw and incur the sanctioned amount.
The National Rurban Mission was launched by the Government of India to develop clusters of villages while preserving rural community life, equity and inclusiveness, and providing facilities generally associated with urban areas.
Clusters covered
The Government of India approved the following three non-tribal clusters under Phase III of the National Rurban Mission in Tamil Nadu:
- Chadayamangalam cluster, Kalkulam sub-district, Kanniyakumari district.
- Seelayampatti cluster, Theni sub-district, Theni district.
- Alasapalli Batravapalli cluster, Hosur sub-district, Krishnagiri district.
The National Rurban Mission Empowered Committee approved Integrated Cluster Action Plans for these clusters. The projected investment for the three clusters was Rs.301.27 crore, comprising Rs.90 crore in eligible Critical Gap Funding and Rs.211.27 crore to be mobilised through convergence by the State.
Funding arrangement
The National Rurban Mission guidelines divide Critical Gap Fund contributions between the Government of India and the State Government in a 60:40 ratio. The Rs.27 crore sanctioned through G.O. (Ms.) No. 17 consists of:
- Rs.16.20 crore as the Central Government share.
- Rs.10.80 crore as the Tamil Nadu Government share.
The approved funding pattern provides for Critical Gap Funding to be released in three instalments of Rs.27 crore, Rs.27 crore and Rs.36 crore, covering the years 2018 to 2021.
Who may be affected
G.O. (Ms.) No. 17 concerns government programme funding and administration for the three named rural clusters. It does not state that land ownership, classification, title, acquisition or permitted land use is changed. Property buyers and owners in these areas should therefore treat it as a rural development funding sanction, not as proof of any change to a particular property.
