5G.O.(Ms.) No.68, RD & PR (SGS1) Department, dated14.06.2010ANNEXUREGuidelines of Kalaignar Veettu Vasathi Thittam (KVVT)1. Introduction:As per the 2001 Census, the percentage of households living intemporary houses (i.e. houses with both walls and roofs made oftemporary materials) is 23% for Tamil Nadu, which is greater than theAll India percentage (18%). In Tamil Nadu, the problem of temporaryhouses is very high in rural areas (about 1/3 rd ) as compared to urbanareas (about 1/10 th ). Over the past 25 years, a number of permanenthouses have been built under the Centrally-sponsored Indira AwaasYojana (IAY). However, it is estimated that if all the huts in rural areasare to be converted to permanent houses only under IAY, it will takeanother 30 years to clear the backlog. Hence, this Government hasdesigned a fully State Government-funded, mega Scheme to convertall the huts in rural areas into concrete roofed, permanent houseswhich will be given free of cost to the beneficiaries.‘Kalaignar Veettu Vasathi Thittam’ (KVVT) was announced bythe Government of Tamil Nadu during the Governor’s Address in TamilNadu Legislative Assembly on 6.1.2010. The Scheme aims at replacingall the huts in rural Tamil Nadu with permanent houses over a 6-yearperiod between 2010-11 and 2015-16. Tamil Nadu will, thus, earn thedistinction of being the first ‘hut free State’ of the country by 2016.2. Salient features of the Scheme:(i)All huts with thatched roof irrespective of the type of wall of thehuts, will be taken up for conversion into permanent housesunder KVVT over the six year period.

6(ii)(iii)The permanent houses will be constructed in situ and no landacquisition is envisaged under the Scheme. Only people withpattas for their houses sites will be eligible; huts constructed onporamboke lands will not be replaced with permanent housesunder KVVT unless the porambokes are of an unobjectionablenature and the encroachments can be regularised by Revenueauthorities.The following types of huts will not be eligible for beingconverted into permanent houses under KVVT –• Huts occupied by tenants.• Huts used for commercial purposes or for animals.• Huts that have part thatched roof and partRCC/Tiled/AC sheet/metal sheet roof.• Huts that have thatch put over RCC/Tiled/ACsheet/metal sheet roof.• Huts whose occupants also own a pucca houseelsewhere.• Huts, if any, owned by retired or serving Governmentservants (full-time, part-time, contract appointment, dailywage appointment) including employees of Local Bodies,PSUs, Government Aided Institutions, Boards and otherquasi-government undertakings or their spouses.• Huts, if any, owned by sitting MPs, MLAs and LocalBody functionaries or their spouses.• Huts, if any, built after 1.1.2010.(iv) Enumeration and Super check:It is necessary to freeze the list of beneficiaries in the beginningitself in order to guard against the possibility of some persons puttingup ‘new thatched roof houses’ to corner multiple benefits. Hence, it

7was decided to undertake the enumeration of all huts in all the VillagePanchayats in the State to make a quick assessment of the number ofhuts to be replaced by permanent houses under KVVT.In the first phase, a Pilot Survey was conducted during February,2010 in select Village Panchayats at the rate of 1 Village Panchayat perBlock in all Districts of the State.Based on the lessons learnt from the Pilot Survey and thedecisions taken at the meetings conducted by the Chief Secretary on26.1.2010, and by the Honourable Chief Minister on 4.3.2010, certainmodifications were made in the Enumeration Format and thereafter,detailed instructions were given regarding enumeration of huts, supercheckof such enumeration, verification of Enumeration Registers bythe Master Trainers, data entry in the Web-based KVVT software,generation of verification-cum-application form, taking of photographsthrough second-round of field visits, and filing of records videAnnexures I, II and III as detailed below. (The enumeration of hutswas commenced on 29.3.2010 in all Districts except Dharmapuri,where the enumeration was commenced on 12.4.2010):-

8Annexure-I: D.O. letter No.1719/SGS-1/2010 dated 8.3.2010,D.O. letter No.1719/SGS-1/2010 dated 9.3.2010andD.O. letter No.1719/SGS-1/2010 dated 22.4.2010 ofPrincipal Secretary to Government, RD&PRDepartment, Chennai-9 addressed to all DistrictCollectors.Annexure-II: Format for Enumeration of huts with thatchedroof along with the Abstracts.Annexure-III: Instructions to Enumerators for the survey ofhuts for KVVT Scheme and Instructions to Supercheckingofficials for the survey of huts.The above instructions and guidelines are ratified byGovernment.The list of eligible beneficiaries in each Village Panchayat shall beplaced before the Grama Sabha for information. Instructions regardingdisposal of grievance petitions, if any, about huts wrongly excludedfrom, or wrongly included in the list of eligible huts, shall be separatelyissued by the Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj.3. Allocation of permanent houses to Village Panchayats:(i) The Scheme will be implemented in all the Village Panchayats inthe State where enumeration of huts has been undertaken. The annualallocation of KVVT houses to each Village Panchayat in the State willconsist of two components:(a) a fixed component, which will be decided by the Director of RuralDevelopment and Panchayat Raj in consultation with the PrincipalSecretary, RD& PR Department, and (b) a variable component which isthe share of each Village Panchayat when the remaining houses are

9apportioned among all Village Panchayats in proportion to the numberof eligible huts in each of them.(ii) The number of habitations in a Village Panchayat varies from 1to over 100 across the State, with an average of 8 habitations perVillage Panchayat. Taking up construction of permanent houses in allthe habitations simultaneously will not be desirable as (a) the numberof permanent houses will be spread very thinly and the impact of theScheme will be minimal, and (b) the implementation and monitoring ofthe Scheme in all the habitations (about 90,000 plus) simultaneouslywill be extremely difficult. Another option is to arrange the habitationswithin each Village Panchayat in the descending order of the totalnumber of eligible huts in each habitation, and take up construction ofpermanent houses only in a few habitations each year, starting fromthe habitation with the maximum number of eligible huts. This optionmay also create difficulties because many habitations in Tamil Nadutend to be (predominantly) single-Community habitations, and equityacross Communities may not be maintained at least in the initial yearsleading to criticism. In order to overcome these difficulties, thefollowing method of sub-allocation of each Village Panchayat’sallocation is proposed.4. Sub-allocation of permanent houses among variousCommunities and habitations within a Village Panchayat:(i) Sub-allocation among Communities: With a view to ensuringequity across Communities, the allocation of permanent houses underKVVT for each Village Panchayat will be sub-allocated among variousCommunities (ST, SC, MBC, BC and OC) in proportion to the totalnumber of eligible huts belonging to members of each Community in

10the Village Panchayat as per the enumeration. [This is a majordifference between KVVT and IAY].Illustration 1: A Village Panchayat has 4 Habitations - A, B, C and D.The total number of eligible huts in the Village Panchayat is 900, whoseCommunity-wise distribution is as follows - SC – 300, MBC – 250, BC – 300,and OC – 50.If the total allocation of permanent houses to this Village Panchayat underKVVT for 2010-11 is 150, then these 150 houses should be apportionedamongst various Communities in the ratio of 300:250:300:50. Therefore, theCommunity-wise allocation in the Village Panchayat will be as under –o SC allocation =HousesNumber of eligible SC huts x Allocation of PermanentTotal No. of eligible huts in V.Pt= 300 x 150 =50900o MBC allocation= Number of eligible MBC huts x Allocation of PermanentHousesTotal No. of eligible huts in V.Pto BC allocation =Houseso OC allocation =Houses= 250 x 150 = 41.66, or 42900Number of eligible BC huts x Allocation of PermanentTotal No. of eligible huts in V.Pt= 300 x 150 =50900Number of eligible OC huts x Allocation of PermanentTotal No. of eligible huts in V.Pt= 50 x 150 =8.33, or 8900(ii) Finalising the ‘priority list of habitations within each VillagePanchayat for each Community’: The hut-dwellers belonging todifferent Communities (ST, SC, MBC, BC and OC) may be spread

11across one or more habitations within each Village Panchayat. For eachCommunity, a 'priority list' shall be prepared by arranging thehabitations in the descending order of the number of eligible hutsbelonging to that Community - based on the 2010 enumerationresults. In the interests of greater clarity, transparency and certaintythis ‘priority list of habitations within each Village Panchayat for eachCommunity’ will be frozen for the entire duration of the Scheme,notwithstanding the fact that it may get altered in a few cases in thecourse of six years whenever the ‘conditionally eligible’ cases become‘eligible’ cases (e.g. as when encroachments on unobjectionableporambokes are regularised and given pattas).N.B. ‘Conditionally eligible’ cases which become ‘eligible’ cases in agiven financial year will become entitled to permanent houses underKVVT from the next financial year onwards (subject to the otherconditions laid down in these guidelines), but they will not alter the‘priority list of habitations within each Village Panchayat for eachCommunity’ which will be frozen as in 2010-11 for the entire durationof the Scheme.(iii) Mode of sub-allocation of permanent houses amongHabitations for each Community: After the ‘priority list' ofhabitations within each Village Panchayat for each Community’ isfixed, the permanent houses under KVVT for a particularCommunity will be sub-allocated to the first habitation in the'priority list', i.e. the habitation with the maximum number ofeligible huts of that Community. In case the sub-allocation of thehouses for a particular Community in the first habitation is greaterthan the number of eligible huts of that Community, then thebalance number of permanent houses will be sub-allocated to the

12second habitation in the 'priority list', i.e. the habitation with thenext highest number of eligible huts for that Community, and so on.In the next financial year, the houses for the particular Community willbe first sub-allocated to that habitation which has been only partiallycovered in the previous year, and then sub-allocated as per the'priority list' . This process will be repeated year after year till all theeligible huts in the Village Panchayat have been taken up forconversion into permanent houses.Illustration 2: In the Village Panchayat referred to in Illustration 1 above,the total number of eligible huts is 900. The Community-wise and Habitationwisedistribution of the eligible huts is given in Table 1:Table 1Number of Eligible Huts in each Habitation :2010-11Community HabitationAHabitationBHabitationCHabitationDTotalnumberfor theVillagePanchayatSC 150 125 - 25 300MBC - 150 50 50 250BC 55 75 80 90 300OC- - - 50 50Total for allcommunities 205 350 130 215 900As explained in Illustration 1 above, if the allotment of permanenthouses for 2010-11 is 150, the Community-wise break-up is: SC-50, MBC-42, BC-50, and OC-8.‣ The priority list of habitations for SCs will be 'A' followed by 'B'and 'D'. The 50 SC houses will be allotted during 2010-11 toHabitation ‘A’ as it is first in the priority list with the maximumnumber of eligible huts.

13‣ The priority list of habitations for MBCs will be 'B' followed byboth 'C' and 'D' (which are joint second). Hence, the 42 MBChouses will be allotted during 2010-11 to Habitation ‘B’.‣ The priority list of BC huts will be 'D' followed by 'C', 'B' and 'A'.Hence, the 50 BC houses will be allotted during 2010-11 toHabitation ‘D’.‣ All the 50 huts belonging to OCs are located in Habitation ‘D’. Hence,the 8 OC houses will be allotted to Habitation ‘D’.Thus, after the allotment of 150 permanent houses Community-wiseand Habitation-wise in 2010-11, the distribution of the eligible huts in theVillage Panchayat at the beginning of the next financial year, i.e. 2011-12will be as shown in Table 2:Table 2Number of Eligible Huts in each Habitation: 2011-12CommunityHabitationAHabitationBHabitationCHabitationDTotalnumberfor theVillagePanchayatSC 150-50=100 125 0 25300-50=250MBCBC0150-42=108 50 5090 - 5055 75 80=40250-42=208300-50=250OC50-8=4250-8=420 0 0Total for allcommunities 155 308 130 157 750Assuming that the allocation of permanent houses under KVVT during 2011-12 is again 150, the Community-wise break-up is again: SC-50, MBC-42, BC-50, and OC-8.

14During 2011-12, the houses for the particular Community will befirst sub-allocated to that habitation which has been only partiallycovered in 2010-11, and the remaining houses, if any, will be suballocatedaccording to the priority list of habitations.‣ In respect of SCs, Habitation ‘A’ which was first in the priority listwas only partially covered during 2010-11. Hence, the 50 SChouses will be allotted again to Habitation ‘A’ during 2011-12.‣ In respect of MBCs, Habitation ‘B’ was only partially coveredduring 2010-11. Hence, the 42 MBC houses will be allotted again toHabitation ‘B’ during 2011-12.‣ In respect of BCs, Habitation ‘D’ was only partially covered during2010-11. Hence, the 50 BC houses will be allotted during 2011-12as follows: (a) 40 houses to Habitation ‘D’ covering it fully, and(b) the remaining 10 houses to Habitation 'C' which is second inthe priority list.‣ All the 42 huts belonging to OCs are located only in Habitation ‘D’which was only partially covered during 2010-11. Hence, the 8 OChouses will be allotted to Habitation ‘D’ during 2011-12.The SC houses will be sub-allocated to Habitation ‘B’ (which is secondin the priority list) in a future year only after Habitation ‘A’ has beenfully covered, and to Habitation ‘D’ only after Habitation ‘B’ has beenfully covered. Similarly, MBC houses will be sub-allocated equally toHabitations ‘C’ and ‘D’ (because they are joint-second in the prioritylist) in a future year only after Habitation ‘B’ has been fully covered.

155. Identification of Beneficiaries within the selectedHabitations:(i) Having determined the sub-allocation of permanent houses amongthe various habitations for each Community as explained in para 4, thenext step is to select the individual beneficiaries from among theeligible cases. Under KVVT, the beneficiaries shall be identified by amethod which is fair, transparent and automatic, and which is easilyintelligible to all concerned.(ii) With this end in view, the following procedure is prescribed:Within each habitation where the beneficiaries belonging to aparticular Community have to be selected, they shall be chosenin the ascending order of New Door Numbers. The New Doornumbers as found in the May 2009 Electoral Rolls (which havebeen filled up in Column 5 of the Enumeration Register) shall beused for this purpose.Illustration 3: In Habitation ‘D’ of the Illustration 2 above, eligible hutsbelonging to various communities have the New Door numbers as per theMay 2009 Electoral Roll (which have been entered in Col.5 of theEnumeration Register) as follows:• SCs - Door Nos. 51 to 75 (25 huts);• MBCs - Door Nos. 76 to 125 (50 huts);• BCs - Door Nos. 26 to 50, & Door Nos.151 to 215 (90 huts);• OCs - Door Nos. 1 to 25, & Door Nos. 126 to 150 (50 huts).In 2010-11, Habitation 'D' gets 50 houses for BCs and 8 houses for OCs.(Please see Table 1 and the notes below). The individual huts taken up forreplacement in Habitation ‘D’ in 2010-11 will be as follows -

16• BCs - Door Nos. 26 to 50 (25 houses), and Door No.151 to 175 (25houses) – i.e. 50 houses in all for BCs.• OCs – Door Nos. 1 to 8 – i.e. 8 houses;In 2011-12, Habitation 'D' gets 40 houses for BCs and 8 houses for OCs. Theindividual huts taken up for replacement in Habitation ‘D’ in 2011-12 will beas follows:• BCs - Door Nos. 176 to 215 – i.e. 40 houses.• OCs – Door Nos. 9 to 16 – i.e. 8 houses.The same methodology shall be followed for the other Habitations also.N.B: The Door Numbers in Illustration 3 have been shown to be continuousfor the sake of simplicity. But in actual practice, it is quite likely that the DoorNumbers of the eligible huts belonging to a Community may not becontinuous since (i) all the members of the Community may not be living inhouses with contiguous Door Numbers, (ii) even if they are living in houseswith contiguous Door Numbers, not all of them may be huts, and (iii) even ifall of them are huts, not all of them may be eligible huts. Even if the NewDoor Numbers of the eligible huts of a Community within a Habitation arediscontinuous, the principle for the identification of KVVT beneficiariesremains the same – in the ascending order of the New Door Numbers.(iii) The foregoing mode of selection of beneficiaries applies to ascenario where all the houses in a Habitation bear New Door Numbersrunning in a single continuous sequence from 1 to the last, say, from 1to 215. It is possible that in some habitations, there may be multiplesequences of Door Numbers - with the Door Numbers starting from 1(to the last Door No. in the street) for each street/locality within theHabitation. For example, a Habitation may have 100 houses spreadacross 3 streets. Street 1 has 50 houses bearing Door Nos. 1 to 50.Street 2 has 30 houses bearing Door Nos. 1 to 30. Street 3 has 20

17houses bearing (New) Door Nos. 1 to 20. In such a scenario, wheremultiple eligible huts belonging to a particular Community may havethe same Door Numbers, the following procedure for selection ofbeneficiaries under KVVT should be followed:1. Determine the street-wise distribution of eligible huts in theHabitation for the particular Community.2. Sub-allocate the permanent houses first to that street whichhas the highest number of eligible huts, and if there is anybalance left after covering all the eligible huts of the Communityin the particular street, sub-allocate it next to that street whichhas the second highest number of eligible huts, and so on. [Inother words, where there are multiple series of Door Numbers(street-wise or locality-wise) within a Habitation, the procedurefor sub-allocation of permanent houses among thestreets/localities within the Habitation, is similar to that followedfor sub-allocation among Habitations within a Village Panchayat.]3. Select beneficiaries in the ascending order of New DoorNumbers of eligible huts in the chosen street(s).4. In the next financial year, the houses for the particularCommunity will be first sub-allocated to that street which wasonly partially covered in the previous year, and the remaininghouses, if any, will be sub-allocated to the street with the nexthigher number of eligible huts of the particular Community. Thisprocess will be repeated year after year till all the eligible huts inthe Village Panchayat have been taken up for conversion intopermanent houses.

18Illustration 4: A habitation, say ‘X’ has 100 eligible huts of SCs. The eligibleSC huts are distributed across 3 streets with Street 1 having 50 huts, Street2 having 30 huts, and Street 3 having 20 huts.For 2010-11, the allocation of permanent houses under KVVT for SCs for thisHabitation is 30. These 30 houses will be sub-allocated entirely to Street 1which has the highest number of eligible huts (50). Within Street 1, the KVVTbeneficiaries will be selected in the ascending order of New Door Numbers.For 2011-12, if the allocation is again 30 houses, these will be sub-allocatedas follows: (a) 20 houses to Street 1 covering it fully, which was onlypartially covered in 2010-11and (b)10 houses to Street 2 which has thesecond highest number of eligible huts belonging to SCs. Within Streets1 and 2, the KVVT beneficiaries will be selected in the ascending order ofNew Door Numbers.Illustration 5: A Habitation ‘Y’ has 80 eligible huts of MBCs. These aredistributed across 3 streets with Street 1 having 30 huts, Street 2 having 30huts, and Street 3 having 20 huts.For 2010-11, the allocation of permanent houses under KVVT for MBCs forthis Habitation is 30. These 30 houses will be sub-allocated equally - 15 toStreet 1 and 15 to Street 2, as both have the joint highest number of huts(30). Within each street, the KVVT beneficiaries will be selected in theascending order of New Door Numbers in that street.For 2011-12, if the allocation is again 30 houses, these will be suballocatedat the rate of 15 houses each to Streets 1 and 2. Within eachstreet, the KVVT beneficiaries will be selected in the ascending order ofNew Door Numbers in that street.(iv) The Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj shalldevelop a Web-based Application software with the assistance ofNational Informatics Centre (NIC) authorities for the automaticallocation of permanent houses under KVVT among VillagePanchayats; sub-allocation among Communities, habitations andstreets; and identification of beneficiaries.

196. Type design and Unit Cost:Like IAY houses, KVVT houses will be built with RCC roofing anda separate toilet. The area of a house shall be about 200 sq.ft. and theunit cost shall be Rs. 60,000 per house. Wherever possible, the toiletshall be constructed by dovetailing funds from the Total SanitationCampaign. To give a distinctive look to the KVVT houses, a separatetype design shall be developed. A unique logo with the beneficiary’sname shall be painted on each house. The name of the Scheme, theyear of construction, and the name of the beneficiary shall be paintedprominently on each completed house. Low cost technologies and fasttrackconstruction will also be permitted under the Scheme.7. Mode of Implementation:The administrative sanction for the Scheme based on the districtallocation for each year shall be accorded by the District Collector. Theexecution of the Scheme is entrusted to the BDO (Block Panchayat).Like IAY, the houses will be constructed by the beneficiariesthemselves (or by their agents). There will be no tendering forconstruction of the houses.8. Release of Funds:The Director of Rural Development & Panchayat Raj is authorisedto draw the annual allocation for KVVT in four quarterly instalmentsand disburse to the Districts as follows:(a)The first quarterly instalment of each financial year equalto one-fourth of the Budget provision for KVVT shallbe drawn by the Director of Rural Development & PanchayatRaj automatically.

20(b)However, the 2nd, 3 rd and 4 th quarterly instalments can bedrawn by the Director of Rural Development & PanchayatRaj only after getting clearance from an EmpoweredCommittee comprising the Principal Secretary to Govt.,Finance Department, Principal Secretary to Govt., RuralDevelopment and Panchayat Raj Department., and theDirector of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, who shallbe its convenor.In turn, the Districts shall release the funds directly to therespective Village Panchayats. The funds should not be routed throughthe Blocks.A separate District level Savings Bank account at districtheadquarters shall be opened exclusively for KVVT by the DistrictCollector/Chairman DRDA. There shall be only one KVVT Savings Bankaccount at the district level.In G.O. (Ms.) 146 of RD & PR (C4) Department dt.17.8.2007read with G.O.Ms.No. 180 RD &PR (PR.I) Dept., dt:01.12.2008, 4Accounts and the detailed procedure for their operation had beenprescribed to be maintained in each Village Panchayat. Now, byG.O.Ms No. 62, RD & PR (PR.I) Dept. dated 27.5.2010, it has beenordered that in the Village Panchayats where the KVVT Scheme isimplemented, a fifth account, namely ‘Village Panchayat KVVTAccount’ should be operated. The receipts which shall be credited to,the types of expenditure that can be incurred out of and the mode ofoperation of Village Panchayat KVVT Scheme Account are described asunder:

21(A) Receipts: The receipts to be credited to the VillagePanchayat KVVT Account shall be the funds received under KVVTScheme.(B) Expenditure: The funds credited into the Village PanchayatKVVT Account will be spent for payment of the works pertainingto the KVVT Scheme as prescribed.(C) Mode of Operation: The above account shall be operatedjointly by the President and Vice-President of the VillagePanchayats as is done for the Village Panchayat Funds Accountconcerned. However, Collectors should instruct all theconcerned bank branches in writing to make suitable ledger /computer entries to honour the cheques signed by the Presidentand Vice-President of the Village Panchayat only if they areaccompanied by the release order in the form of proceedings ofthe BDO (Block Panchayat) for the payment of works from theVillage Panchayat KVVT Account concerned. The cheque leavesshould also be stamped with “To be paid only if accompanied byproceedings of the BDO (Block Panchayat)”. No self-cheques ordrawals based upon withdrawal forms are to be permitted forthis account.9. The Principal Secretary to Government, Rural Development &Panchayat Raj Department, in consultation with the Director of RuralDevelopment & Panchayat Raj, is authorised to amend theseguidelines based on the exigencies that may arise from time to time.SHETTYK.ASHOK VARDHANPrincipal Secretary toGovernment
